The Hollow of God's Hand. by E. S. Lorenz — Lyrics
About The Hollow of God's Hand.
"The Hollow of God's Hand" is a deeply comforting hymn that speaks to the absolute safety we find in God's care. Drawing its inspiration directly from Isaiah 49:2, the song reminds us that no matter the storms or tempests we face, we are held securely by our Creator. It is the kind of piece that brings a profound sense of peace to both the choir singing it and the congregation listening.
Musically, the verses carry a gentle, reassuring melody that builds into a layered, echoing chorus. As the parts weave together—with the lower voices repeating the phrase "in the hollow" while the sopranos carry the main melody—it creates a beautiful auditory image of being surrounded and enfolded by divine love. We often turn to this hymn during moments of reflection, such as after Communion or during times of trial, when the community needs a gentle reminder of God's unwavering protection.
