This is Curtis Stephan’s reboot of Panis Angelicus, which RS’s parish used this Easter. It is also suitable for Corpus Christi. It is bilingual for assemblies that express themselves in English and Latin.
The sheet music is available at OCP and the text is in their sample there. The preview of the music suggests a string section but I went country rock so my backing is a little rough.

RS’s parish also did Rutter’s Pie Jesu and I thought better of attempting that. I leave that to the Cambridge singers:
Good Day….

the lyrics of “E na Lima Hana (The Working Hands)”
E nä lima hana; E mälama ‘äina; me ke kino me ka pu ‘uwai.
E nä lima hana; E mälama ‘äina; me ke kino me ka pu ‘uwai.
1. With our hands, we press onward to the plow, never turning back, we face the myst’ry far beyond. With our hands, we will shape each other’s stories, we will write the vision down, never tire until it’s done.
2. With our hands, we will put our weapons down; we will care for the earth, we will speak a word of peace. With our hands we will wash each other’s feet; we will break the bread of justice, we will share the cup of dreams.
3. With our hands, we’ll reach out to one another; we will touch and heal each other, we will dry each other’s tears. With our hands, we will work to build the promise, for our God will be our strength, and like the eagle we will fly.
