He Spake in the Cloudy Pillar

Author: M. E. Servoss Hymnal: The Helper in Sacred Song #36 (1889) First Line: "He spake in the cloudy pillar" Lyrics: 1 “He spake in the cloudy pillar:” All trembling with fear they wait, With the burden of sin unforgiven, Repentance almost too late; While pray’rs for Jehovah’s guidance Ascend from each peopled tent, And Moses pleads for mercy For those who will repent. Refrain: He spake in the cloudy pillar To those by fear oppressed, “My presence shall go with thee, And I will give thee rest.” 2 “He spake in the cloudy pillar:” And Israel heard that day That Jehovah, in mercy, forgiving, Again would direct their way; Oh! joy to a sinful people— Repentant, yet full of fear,— They feel their sins forgiven, And know the Lord is near. They feel their sins forgiven, And know the Lord is near. [Refrain] 3 “He spake in the cloudy pillar:” He speaketh again today, At the door of my tomb I am waiting, To hear what the Lord will say; And down thro’ a holy stillness He answers my soul’s request, “My presence shall go with thee, And I will give thee rest.” “My presence shall go with thee, And I will give thee rest.” [Refrain] Tune Title: [He spake in the cloudy pillar]
