"Ive Done My Work"
(
Ive done my work
I sung my song
Ive done some good
I
Ive done some wrong
I shall go where I belong
The Lord has willed it so
He knows my heart, and every thought
. J
He knows what pain and joy Ive \
brought and by his love
\
I shall be taught.
\
> .,
The way to him, I know.
v? I
He knows my soul so weak and blind.
So full of fear and mortal mind
And he will lead and I shall
Find the way to him I know.
;
He guides my steps, and
He knows best, He will not harm.
;
Where he is blest and so goodnight
Ill take my rest,
.
Where sweet Wild Roses grow.

The story is that these were the hands of someone who had great faith in his ability, and worked to help him attain his artistic training; that in the process, their own hands became so gnarled as to be incapable of equal work; and in gratitude, and because he saw their labor of love as beautiful, he immortal i led the hands.
