THE HUMAN TOUCH, by                    
First Line: Tis the human touch in this world that counts
Last Line: Sing on in the soul alway.
Subject(s): Religion; Theology


'TIS THE HUMAN TOUCH in this world that counts,
The touch of your hand and mine,
Which means far more to the fainting heart
Than shelter and bread and wine;
For shelter is gone when the night is o'er,
And bread lasts only a day,
But the touch of the hand and the sound of the voice
Sing on in the soul alway.
