Crowds are behind Thee,
crowds are before,
Life in a single moment
Thou canst restore.
Only to touch Thee, spotless and pure,
Only to touch Thy garment,
faith brings the cure.
Only Thy garment’s hem,
Lord, I implore;
Only Thy garment’s hem
life will restore;
Only a touch will bring joy to my soul;
Let me but touch Thy garment,
I shall be whole.
Only to touch Thee, Savior, I know,
Peace to my troubled spirit
Thou wilt bestow;
Only to touch Thee, this is my prayer,
Longer my heavy burden I cannot bear.
Only Thy garment’s hem,
Lord, I implore;
Only Thy garment’s hem
life will restore;
Only a touch will bring joy to my soul;
Let me but touch Thy garment,
I shall be whole.
Lord, I am sinful, Thou undefiled,
Yet dost Thou love
and even call me Thy child;
Great is Thy mercy, wondrous to me;
Lord, ’tis my faith that saves me,
glory to Thee!
Only Thy garment’s hem,
Lord, I implore;
Only Thy garment’s hem
life will restore;
Only a touch will bring joy to my soul;
Let me but touch Thy garment,
I shall be whole.
