THE HALLOWED MOUTH, by                     Poet's Biography
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.
