The Cloud And Fire

As of old, when the hosts

of Israel

Were compelled in

the wilderness to dwell.

Trusting in their God to lead

the way

To the light of the perfect day.

So the sign of the fire by night,

And the sign of the cloud by day,

Hovering o'er, just before,

As the journey on their way.

Shall a guide and leader be,

Till the wilderness be past.

For the Lord, our God,

in His own good time

Shall lead to the light at last.

To and fro, as ship without

a sail.

Not a compass to guide them

through the vale,

But the sign of their God was

ever near,

Thus their fainting hearts

to cheer.

All the days of their wand'rings

they were fed,

To land of the promise they

were led:

By the hand of the Lord

in guidance sure.

They were brought to

Canaan's shore.
