W:Annie Johnson Flint (25 December 1866 - 8 September 1932) wrote a hymn The World's Bible, which goes — Christ has no hands but our hands, To do His work each day; He has no feet but our feet, To lead men in his way; He has no tongues but our tongues, To tell men how he died; He has no help but our help, To bring them to His side.
