A sacred hymn about Jesus's Hands. Text by Kathryn H. Hales below.  Watch on YouTube: Jesus's Hands


Long ago in an upper room,

Jesus with hands of flesh and blood,

Sat at supper, His last on earth,

Blessed and broke the unleavened bread.


Afterward His loving hands

Passed the communal wine-filled cup,

Instructing his apostles there

To partake and drink it up.

 

Then later in resurrected form

He appeared in Nephite lands;

In awe the people touched the wounds

In the Savior’s outstretched hands.


They wondered at Jesus’s miracle

Of providing water and the bread,

Then sang in joy and gratitude

As the multitude was fed.


Today I watched the priests’ deft hands

Breaking bread upon a tray,

Seeing in my mind our suffering Lord

As His life He freely gave.

 

Bread and water blessed in His name,

Reminders of hands nailed to a tree,

Emblems blessed became sanctified,

Gifts of love from Deity.
