 1  She only touched the hem of His garment

       As to His side she stole,

    Amid the crowd that gathered around Him;

       And straightway she was whole.

 

Oh, touch the hem of His garment,

   And thou, too, shalt be free!

His healing pow'r this very hour

   Shall give new life to thee!

 

 2  She came in fear and trembling before Him,

       She knew her Lord had come,

    She felt that from Him virtue had healed her,

       The mighty deed was done.

 

Oh, touch the hem of His garment,

   And thou, too, shalt be free!

His healing pow'r this very hour

   Shall give new life to thee!

 

 3  He turned with "Daughter, be of good comfort,

       Thy faith hath made thee whole";

    And peace that passeth all understanding

       With gladness filled her soul.

 

Oh, touch the hem of His garment,

   And thou, too, shalt be free!

His healing pow'r this very hour

   Shall give new life to thee!
