The Gospel Awakening ‎#121

121. Touch But the Hem of His Garment

1. Once to the Lord there came
A trembling soul;
She touched His garment's hem,
And was made whole.

Chorus:
Touch but the hem of His garment,
Haste, sinner, haste, I pray;
Touch but the hem of His garment,
And thou shalt be whole today.

2. No mighty task to do,
Simply believe;
Touch but His garment's hem
And health receive. [Chorus]

3. Tho' bow'd with weight of sin
Seek now the Lord;
Touching His garment's hem
Shall peace afford. [Chorus]

4. Sinner, stretch forth thy hand
This very hour;
Touch now His garment's hem,
Find saving power. [Chorus]
