st. 1 = Luke 4:18, Luke 7:22, Matt 11:5

A traditional African American spiritual, this hymn was pub¬lished in The Second Book of Negro Spirituals compiled by James Weldon Johnson and J. Rosamund Johnson (1926).

The stanzas selected (of the various ones in oral and written tradition) focus on Christ's ministry: his preaching (st. 1), his saving (st. 2), and his healing (st. 3). The refrain finds comfort in the biblical image of "the hands of the Lord," which guide, protect, and uphold. The text makes Christ's ministries very personal to the believer: it is the same Lord who preaches, saves, and heals, who has his hands on me!

Liturgical Use:
Epiphany; in worship services during other seasons that focus on Christ's ministry; profession of faith; adult baptism.

--Psalter Hymnal Handbook, 1988
