The Cloud Received Christ From Their Sight

1. The cloud re- ceived Christ from their sight. They stood, their mouths a- gape. Re- mind- ed of the things He taught His peo- ple still do wait.

2. The cloud kept safe God's peo- ple as Through the dry sea they trod, And led them through the wild- er- ness; They tru- ly walked with God!

3. On Si- nai's height the cloud did rest To make a home be- low. The Ark first then His writ- ten Word His pre- sence now would show.

4. Ap- pear- ing on the mer- cy seat with- in the in- most place, the Tem- ple showed God's pro- mi- ses to save our fal- len race.

5. On moun- tain high Christ's face did shine like sun, a bla- zing light. The cloud once more ap- peared on earth a tru- ly fear- ful sight.
