MASTER HANDS; TO DOCTOR ST. GEORGE FECHTIG by LAVINIA R. CLARK

First Line: STRONG, MAGIC HANDS
Last Line: THE TENDERNESS OF PRAYER.
Subject(s): HANDS; PHYSICIANS; PRAYER; DOCTORS;

Strong, magic hands
There is iron in your touch
That unclasps the bands
Of pain, strength as from
The giant pines,
Gentle healing like sunshine.

Kind, loving hands,
Index of a spirit
That understands;
The power of divine service
Embodies there
The tenderness of prayer.
