The Hands that Feed: A Blessing for Pastors’ Wives

Lord, bless these hands that feed the hands that feed
the hungry masses coming forth for bread
and growing full on the sermon I have read
and prayed for long before it came to be—
the work of the hands I feed that now feed me.

Comment HYMN to learn more. Have a lovely day! And a divine day… (sorry, couldn’t resist.) Let’s sing the doxology! Comment HYMN or DOXOLOGY to learn more. This is from LAST Sunday’s service, but it is still stuck in my head. Loved sharing this charming Scherzo from Partita on Thy Strong Word by @ben.culli with my people! Newest organ scholar is making some original registration choices and failing as a page turner. Good thing he’s very cute. Be still, my scrolling? Comment HYMN to learn more. Thanks for singing with me! I thought I lost my music to Benjamin Culli’s partita on “Thy Strong Word,” and was overjoyed when I found it while moving! This one always ushers my congregation members out with a spring in their step. Does your church have a favorite postlude? Life lately 💛🥹 Do you know this hymn? Comment HYMN HELP for the answer! How many hymn texts can you sing to this tune? Let me know in the poll or comments!
