His hands, power-laden por- tals, Blessed with oils of consecra- tl.Ol'1r Are healing hands That teach and bless As Christ's did. Ah, how many hands are here! Yet all are Christ's and none our own. Hands are but tools of toil, And hidden in each calloused palm ' Lies the dignity of labor. Noble hands are these, That grasp not for themselves But give in love to others. Able hands are these Whose dexterity is inspired By the Holy Spirit, Finger of God's right hand di- vine. e aw'- K 7, Me of 1225 Though years have elapsed be- tween us, Those years have not been barren.

The yoke of labor's liftedg We've kept our records neat. Time really never lagged, It flew! so runs our mind. me Past's door is slowly closing, A different life we find. 0 f It hints a little of freedom, Yet binds us so much more We're just a little frightened, Behind this other door.
