THE LUMINOUS HANDS OF GOD by ELEANOR WARFIELD KENLY BACON

First Line: OUT OF THE BASE, INSENSATE CLOD
Last Line: WHICH GOD'S EFFULGENT HAND KEEPS BRIGHT.
Subject(s): GOD; HANDS;

Out of the base, insensate clod
The luminous, strong Hands of God
Have shaped us; and all sin can do
Cannot prevent the shining through
And on our lives of that pure light
Which God's effulgent Hand keeps bright.
