    Lyrics:

    My sister's hands are fair and white; my sister's hands are dark
    My sister's hands are touched with age, or by the years unmarked
    And often when I pray for strength to live as He commands
    The Father sends me sustenance in my sister's hands

    My sister's hands are lined and worn with burdens of their own
    And yet I know that should I mourn, I need not weep alone
    For often as I seek His grace to lighten life's demands
    The Father sends me solace borne in my sister's hands

    My sister's hands: compassion's tools that teach my own their art
    Witnesses of charity within the human heart
    Bearers of the Savior's love and mercy unto man
    I have felt the Master's touch in my sister's hands
