223. Hem of His Garment

1 Weak and weary, poor and sinful,
Vainly I cry;
Bound and crush'd with years of sorrow,
What help is nigh?

Refrain:
Let me touch the hem of His garment,
Let me touch the hem of His garment,
Let me touch the hem of His garment,
And the touch will make me whole.

2 How the people press around Him,
His word receive;
Surely I may share His blessing,
I too believe. [Refrain]

3 Long my heart has felt its burden,
Seeking for peace;
Now, at last I find in Jesus
My sweet release. [Refrain]
