A HIDDEN HAND - SOMEWHERE, by                    
First Line: There is somewhere a hidden hand
Last Line: Pure being without end.
Subject(s): Grief; Sorrow; Sadness


There is somewhere a Hidden Hand,
Omnipotent and true --
Beyond the deeps of space unspanned,
Beyond the boundless blue --
Afar beyond the measured realm
Of finite things we know,
That mighty hand fast holds the helm,
Nor ever lets it go.
Despite our knowledge is so small,
We grope in gloom and doubt,
When spirits unto spirit call
There comes a voice -- without?
Within? We do not know, nor how;
We only know a voice
Can somehow smooth the furrowed brow
And make sad hearts rejoice.
We call that unknown something God
Creator, Father, Friend,

Unseen, Eternal, Mighty God --
Pure Being without end.
