The Touch of Jesus

By Henry Burton, D. D.

Touch thou my tongue, so strangely still. When all thy works show forth thy praise; May I some grateful song upraise—Sweet echoes from thy holy hill.
Touch thou my feet, that they may keep Thy forward step; teach me to run With sacred haste till tasks are done, And wearied, I sink down to sleep.
Touch thou my hands, that they no more May tighten in their selfish greed; But, open to the sorer need, May some of thy great gifts outpour.
Touch thou my heart, and all on fire Its every beat shall be for thee; Thy love shall make it glad and free, Thyself its one supreme desire. —Henry Burton, D. D.
