THE HALLOWED MOUTH by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: THY HAND, THE CENTRAL POINT OF POWER!
Last Line: SHALL TOUCH THE HEARTS OF MEN.
Subject(s): GOD;
Thy hand, the central point of power!
My mouth, so poor and weak!
But touch it, Lord, and in that hour
I shall be strong to speak.

My tongue shall thrill with eager stress,
Nor ever lag again;
And, touched by God's almightiness,
Shall touch the hearts of men.
