Mine Arm Is Lengthened Out is a poignant setting of Christ’s invitation—drawn from the Book of Mormon and the Bible—for all to come unto Him. Moving from the gentle plea, “Incline your ear and come unto me,” the piece builds to a triumphant climax on His profound declaration: “I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands!”
Lyrics
Mine arm is lengthened out all the day long
And yet, they will deny me
Yet, they will not come unto me and partake.
How oft would I have gathered you
As a hen gathereth her brood?
How oft would I have gathered you together
But ye would not!
Incline your ear and come unto me:
Hear and your soul shall live.
I shall lengthen out mine arm from day to day
And I will be merciful to those that come unto me.
Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of mine hands!
