A Voice Hath Spoken From the Dust
A Voice Hath Spoken From the Dust
1. A voice hath spoken from the dust,
Its message pure without alloy
Of 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 bear
Until 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.”
