Lyrics

Just one touch as He moves along,
Pushed and pressed by the jost­ling throng,
Just one touch and the weak was strong,
Cured by the Heal­er divine.

Refrain

Just one touch as He passes by,
He will list to the faint­est cry,
Come and be saved while the Lord is nigh,
Christ is the Heal­er di­vine.

Just one touch and He makes me whole,
Speaks sweet peace to my sin sick soul,
At His feet all my bur­dens roll,
Cured by the Healer di­vine.

Refrain

Jut one touch! and the work is done,
I am saved by the bless­èd Son,
I will sing while the ag­es run,
Cured by the Heal­er di­vine.

Refrain

Just one touch! and He turns to me,
Oh, the love in His eyes I see!
I am His, for He hears my plea,
Cured by the Heal­er di­vine.

Refrain

Just one touch! by His migh­ty pow­er
He can heal thee this bless­èd hour,
Thou canst hear though the tem­pests low­er,
Cured by the Heal­er di­vine.
