Lyrics

To the feet of my Sav­ior
In trem­bling and fear,
A pe­ni­tent sin­ner I came;
He saw, and in mer­cy,
He bade me draw near;
All glo­ry and praise to His name.

Refrain

He touched me and thus made me whole;
Bringing com­fort and rest to my soul;
O glad hap­py day, all my sins rolled away!
For He touched me and thus made me whole.

I knew not the ten­der
Compassion and love
That Je­sus, my Sav­ior, had shown;
Tho’ bur­dened with grief,
His dear hand brought re­lief,
He healed me and called me His own.

Refrain

My grace is suf­fi­cient,
I heard His dear voice,
O come and find rest for your soul;
From sin you to save,
My life free­ly I gave;
I died that you might be made whole.

Refrain

O Je­sus, dear Je­sus,
Thy name I adore,
For sav­ing and keep­ing my soul;
Thy prais­es I’ll sing,
My Re­deem­er and king,
Thy dear, lov­ing hand made me whole.
