Hearts And Hands Of Love

 

Graced with love are hearts and hands

That serve our Holy Lord

And point to peaceful ways of life

He blesses with reward;

Through works of labor and of art,

They serve His sacred wills

And light the joys of Christian faith

That comfort human ills.

 

The painter paints, with Heaven's hues,

The glory of His arts;

The poet pens, with humble words,

The glories He imparts;

And Christian souls - of common fold -

Embrace Him with their deeds

That grace His love, on every road,

Where humans cry in need.

 

And there are those who also serve,

Through charities of heart,

By giving of their stores and wealth

To better human lot;

Each one a servant unto Christ -

By deeds of heart and hand -

That make Him dearer to each life

And nearer to each land.
