Rodeheaver's Gospel Solos and Duets ‎#37

37. The Hands of the Savior

1 I vision the hands of the Savior,
By them were the multitudes fed;
I see them outstretched to the children,
In blessing they laid on each head.

Chorus:
Wonderful hands, hands of the Savior,
Nailed for thy sake to the tree;
Hands that were used in service for others,
Hands that will ever lead thee.

2 In pity they lifted the fallen,
By them were the suffering healed;
They served at the tasks that were humble,
The sweetness of labor revealed. [Chorus]

3 They lead now the way to that City,
“Whose Builder and Maker is God’:
They’ll never unclasp till we enter,
Thro’ highways His footsteps have trod. [Chorus]
