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.
~ Michael Dubina
