 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 saving power this very hour

   Shall give new life to thee!

 

 2  He's pow'rful, present, real and gracious;

       Thou too canst touch Him now!

    Just come and touch while He is still passing,

       His power thou shalt know.

 

Oh, touch the hem of His garment!

   And thou, too, shalt be free!

His saving power this very hour

   Shall give new life to thee!

 

 3  Just touch in faith and touch Him in spirit,

       And He will make thee whole;

    And peace that passeth all understanding

       With joy will fill thy soul.

 

Oh, touch the hem of His garment!

   And thou, too, shalt be free!

His saving power this very hour

   Shall give new life to thee!
