Representative Text

1. Crowds are behind you, crowds are before;
Life in a single moment you can restore;
Only to touch you, spotless and pure,
Only to touch your garment, faith brings the cure.

Refrain:
Only your garment's hem, Lord, I implore;
Only your garment's hem life will restore;
Only a touch will bring joy to my soul;
Let me but touch your garment,
I shall be whole.

2. Only to touch you, Savior, I know,
Peace to my troubled spirit you will bestow,
Only to touch you, this is my pray'r;
Longer my heavy burden I cannot bear. [Refrain]

3. Lord, I am sinful, you undefiled,
Yet you do love and even call me your child;
Great is your mercy, wondrous to me;
Lord, 'tis your grace that saves me, perfect and free! [Refrain]
