Lyrics

In read­ing the words of God’s pro­phet,
This won­der­ful sto­ry we meet,
The Lord hath His way in the whir­lwind,
The clouds are the dust of His feet.

Refrain

The clouds are the dust of His feet,
The clouds are the dust of His feet;
The Lord hath His way in the whirl­wind,
The clouds are the dust of His feet.

What must be His heav­en­ly glo­ry
In all of its full­ness com­plete,
When clothed in their bright gold­en splen­dor,
The clouds are the dust of His feet.

Refrain

The dark and the threat­en­ing storm clouds,
Bring rest from our thirst­ing and heat;
So show­ers of heav­en­ly bless­ing
God sends from the dust of His feet.

Refrain

When tem­pests of life beat against us,
This heart cheer­ing thought is most sweet;
We sure­ly are close to the Fa­ther,
Since clouds are the dust of His feet.
