Here's the recording history (or as much of it as I can dig up) for "The Touch of the Master's Hand."

Tex Ritter, Jimmy Dean, and Bill Anderson have all recorded versions that are more or less spoken/recited with musical accompaniment.

Sally Rogers wrote a tune for it, which she recorded on "The Unclaimed Pint," 1986.

John Kramp wrote a tune for it, which has been recorded by Wayne Watson and by Danny Gans.

Laurie Lewis wrote a tune for it, which she recorded with Kathy Kallick.

Glen Duncan, Roland Gresham, Dennis Swanberg, Doug Brummel, Jan De Wet, John Carlton, Leroy Van Dyke, Afterglow, and Fleeting Moment have each recorded some version of it.

My personal favorite is the one by Sally Rogers.
