TOUCHING HIS GARMENT-HÍS HANDS 147

Behold, I have graven thee on the palms of my hands. Is. 49: 16.

IT

Not alone on the loving hand of God

Is my worthless name engraved,

But my form and my face are imaged there,

His child whom He sought and saved.

Can it be that the great and mighty God

Can note, from His home above,

Such a sinful atom, a worthless mote,

And fold me in His kind love?

Yes, yes, it is true, as His word is truth,
On the palms of the pierced hands

That are on the helm of the universe

My likeness forever stands.

-Sarah Conger Robinson.

'T would be unspeakably wonderful if your name were graven on God's hands; but a more wonderful thing, I am sure, has been performed. It is not your name alone that is graven there, but your face, your form, yourself, your troubles, your sorrows, your failures, your weakness -all are graven there. You had your ups and downs even this past week and all these experiences are graver on God's hands. All our concernments are dear to God. We have tripped, we have fainted, we have hesitated, we have doubted all this history is on God's hands. I have graven thee. I am overwhelmed, I am silent with astonishment in the presence of so sublime a truth as that. Does God care that much for me, that much for you? Be astonished, O, earth; be silent, O my soul, and muse in wonder, love, and praise.

In the shadow of His hand hath He hid me; and He hath made me a polished shaft; in His quiver hath He kept me close. Is. 49: 2. I trusted in Thee, O Jehovah; Thou art my God. My times are in Thy hand. Amen. Ps. 31: 14, 15.
