THE HAND OF THE PRIEST.

IH6 HAND Or 6E fHIES1.
There is something we prize more
than gems, more than gold
More than earth's rarest treasures,
it's beauty, it's Drawn,
Be it fairer than lilies, or wither'd and
1t hath ever blessing, charm of
its own,
IT'S the hand of the Priest, of our
Father in God,
No Kings can compare with its
dignity grand;
Ev'ry saint of the Lord who this dark
earth hath trod
Owes Life everlasting to that holy
hand.
A marvellous grace from its touch ever
Gods mercies are centered it's pure
palm within.
'Tis the hand at the Font-'tis the
hand that baptizes,
Releasing mems soul from original
sin.
IT'S the hand that absolves when the
penitent kneeling
In the sacred Tribunal, in sorrow
and shame,
To the ear of the Priest all his errors
revealing,
Wins pardon and peace in the Cruel
feds Name.
Again ev'ry morn, when the Gift OF
all gifts,
The Lamb on the altar is slain, sac
rificed-
TITS the hand of the Priest that en-
folds, that uplifts,
The Body and Blood of our God, the
Lords Christ!
'Tis his hand that sustains, that gives
food to our needs,
When we flock, in our hunger, to
Gods holy shrine,
For the Priest, like his Master, the
multitude feeds
With the Mamma from heaven, the
Bread all divine
When Life is fast ebbing, Times
drama swift closing,
And the ties and the joys of this
earth over pass'd,
The Christian in Deaths gloomy shad.
ows reposing,
BY the hand of the Priest is anoint-
ed at last.
Well, then, may we prize it - this
treasure of ours
May bless and revere it, night,
morning and noon,
Whether wither'd and old, fairer,
sweeter than flowers,
Thank God for the hands of our
Sogoarth Aroon!
