Complete lyric:
A voice hath spoken from the dust,
Its message pure, without alloy,
Of treasured hope and sacred trust:
Oh, men are that they may have joy.
Should sorrow come, well not despair,
For He would not that men should pine.
The grief that comes well learn to bear
Until again the sun doth shine.
For Adam feel that man might be,
And men are that they may have joy.
What gratitude to God we bring
That mankind may have joy.
Before the Lord, then, humbly go.
His message will our spirits buoy.
On us his blessings hell bestow,
For men are that they may have joy.
For Adam feel that man might be,
And men are that they may have joy.
What gratitude to God we bring
That mankind may have joy.
