1. A voice hath spoken from the dust,Its message pure without alloyOf treasured hope, and sacred trust.O “Men are that they might have joy.”
2. Should sorrow come, we’ll not despair,For he would not that men should pine;The grief that comes we’ll learn to bearUntil again the sun doth shine.
3. Before the Lord then humbly go;His message will our spirits buoy;On us his blessings he’ll bestow,For “Men are that they might have joy.”
