If , 74744 an 244' am Through the hallowed fingers of the priest Comes the Price of our re- demption. 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.
