Take my hands, dear Lord, today
And help them a blessing be
To all whom I touch with them.
May they Thy healing see.

Use them, daily blessed by Thee,
To soothe a weary soul,
To help each paining mortal
Who is striving to be whole.

So then when health springs forth
May they see Thy power divine
And know it was Your blessing
And not these hands of mine.
