St. Teresa of Avila
-Staven C. Warner
Christ has no body now but yours
No hands, but yours
Here on this earth yours is the work,
To serve with the joy of compassion
Christ has no body now but yours
No hands, but yours
Here on this earth yours is the work,
To serve with the joy of compassion
No hands but yours to heal the wounded world,
No hands but yours to soothe all its suff'ring,
No touch but yours to bind the broken
Hope of the people of God.
Christ has no body now but yours
No hands, but yours
Here on this earth yours is the work,
To serve with the joy of compassion
No eyes but yours to see
As Christ would see,
To find the lost,
To gaze with compassion
No eyes but yours to glimpse
The holy joy of the city of God.
Christ has no body now but yours
No hands, but yours
Here on this earth yours is the work,
To serve with the joy of compassion
No feet but yours to journey
With the poor to walk this
World with mercy and justice.
Yours are the steps to build
A lasting Peace For the children of God.
Christ has no body now but yours
No hands, but yours
Here on this earth yours is the work,
To serve with the joy of compassion
Through every gift, give back to those in need;
As Christ has blessed, so now be his blessing,
With every gift a benediction
Be to the people of God.
Christ has no body now but yours
No hands, but yours
Here on this earth yours is the work,
To serve with the joy of compassion
