Author: Adam Fox, 1883-1977 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #592 (2010) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 1 Hands that have been handling
holy things and high
still, Lord, in thy service
bless and fortify.
2 Ears which heard the message
of the words of life
keep thou closed and guarded
from the noise of strife.
3 Eyes whose contemplation
looked upon thy love,
let them gaze expectant
on the world above.
4 'Holy, holy, holy,'
thee our lips confessed:
on those lips for ever
let no falsehood rest.
5 Feet which trod the pavement
round about God's board,
let them walk in glory
where God's light is poured.
6 Bodies that have tasted
of the living Bread,
be they re-created
in their living Head.
7 Be we all one body,
all our members one,
measured by the stature
of God's full-grown Son. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: GLENFINLAS
