The Touch of the Unseen Hand

Author: Frank E. Graeff Hymnal: Christian Hymns #325 (1935) First Line: There's a hand reaching down when the night-shades enfold Refrain First Line: The touch of the hand that is gentle and strong Lyrics: 1 There's a hand reaching down when the night-shades enfold, And my soul is alone with its grief; Then a voice sweet and low Soothes my pain and my woe, And the touch of that hand brings relief. Chorus: The touch of the hand that is gentle and strong, The touch of the hand that is tender and true; That hand reaches down thro' the night dark and long, And the touch of that hand fills my soul with a song. 2 There's a hand reaches down when I struggle alone, And my soul is most sorely opprest; Then a voice firm and clear Tells me Jesus is near, And the touch of His hand gives me rest. [Chorus] 3 There's a hand reaches down when temptations assault, And their terrors my soul would affright; Then a voice true and clear Calls "Fear not, I am here," And the touch of His hand guides me right. [Chorus] 4 There's a hand reaches down, and where'er I may be, Tho' my trials and cares do not cease; Still a voice strong and clear Fills my heart with its cheer, And the touch of His hand gives me peace. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [There's a hand reaching down when the night-shades enfold]
