131. The Healing Touch

1 He who calmed the storm on Galilee,
He who set the moaning leper free,
He who opened mercy’s door for me,
In compassion bids thee come.

Refrain:
He healed the dying upon Judea’s plain,
He stands today by every couch of pain;
Oh, look and live, death’s serpent shall be slain,
This mighty Savior will make thee whole again.

2 On his breast I see the weary lie,
By his side I hear a stifled sigh;
Lo, for bread the hungry thousands cry;
Jesus answers every call. [Refrain]

3 Near thee now he stands, oh, do not fear;
Waiting, longs to dry the burning tear;
With his healing touch thy soul to cheer,
Oh, arise, he calleth thee. [Refrain]

4 Tenderly the Master calleth still,
Bow, O soul, unto his perfect will;
Let his healing touch thy spirit thrill,
Praise his name for victory. [Refrain]
