All respect due to Thile--does the mandolin add or merely distract? I think the latter. The mandolin notes are not clean nor have they the depth of sound--a harp would have added the piquant contrast yet have been better able to match the depth and richness of other instruments and voice here here.
My hsband died almost two weeks ago. It was this song that I heard so long ago and tucked into my mind, because of his chronic illness. It is so very lovely that I now hear it so very often, when for some time I never heard it at all. . I got to know him 'touching his hand of love' and now must travel my tomorrows alone, with all of my ever so beautiful memories of our love. Thank you for this lovely arrangement. I will treasure it always.
Touch the hand of love. Let it calm your troubled mind and caress your tender sorrow. Know the hand of love as you walk that weary road, as you travel your tomorrows alone. You may have to wander far over thorns that bleed and scar you, and those rocky mountains you must climb will try to blind you. Touch the hand of love as you walk that weary road. Let it hold your tender sorrow as you travel your tomorrows alone.

@drfreebird777 Keep in mind that this is a very, very lossy version - have you given the CD a listen?

One of the most eclectic groupings of diverse talents I've seen in quite a while. Hats off to the producer of this one!

Sometimes the right song appears magically - right time, right sentiment. Quite wonderful!
