The Clouds are the Dust of His Feet

Author: Alice M. Goodwin Hymnal: The Golden Sheaf #126 (1902) First Line: In reading the words of God's prophet Lyrics: 1 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." 2 What must be his heavenly glory In all of its fulness complete, When clothed in their bright golden splendor The clouds are the dust of his feet. [Chorus] 3 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. [Chorus] 4 When tempests of life beat against us, This heart cheering tho' tis most sweet; We surely are close to the Father, Since clouds are the dust of his feet. [Chorus] Tune Title: [In reading the words of God's prophet]
