Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship ‎#94

94. Heal Us! Emmanuel, Here We Are

1. Our faith is feeble, we confess,
We faintly trust thy Word;
But will you pity us the less?
Be that far from you, Lord.

Refrain:
Heal us! Emmanuel, here we are.
We long to feel thy touch.
Deep wounded souls, to thee we fly;
O Savior, hear our cry.

2. Remember him who once applied
With trembling for relief;
"Lord, I believe," with tears he cried,
"O help my unbelief." [Refrain]

3. She too, who touch'd you in the press,
And healing virtue stole,
Was answered, "Daughter, go in peace,
Thy faith hath made thee whole." [Refrain]

4. Like her, with hopes and fears we come,
To touch you if we may;
Oh! send us not despairing home,
Send none unheal'd away. [Refrain]
