Lyrics

Burdened by sin and des­pair­ing,
Treading life’s treach­er­ous sand;
Now for my soul Christ is car­ing,
Healed by the touch of His hand.

Refrain

Healed by the touch of His hand,
Healed by the touch of His hand;
Love is my sto­ry, Christ is my glo­ry,
Healed by the touch of His hand.

Peace to my heart He has giv­en,
You should this bless­ing de­mand;
Life with the sweet peace of Hea­ven,
Healed by the touch of His hand.

Refrain

When I shall look on His glo­ry,
All of His love un­der­stand;
Then I shall sing the sweet sto­ry,
Healed by the touch of His hand.
