She on­ly touched the hem of His gar­ment
As to His side she stole,
Amid the crowd that ga­thered around Him,
And straight­way she was whole.

Refrain

Oh, touch the hem of His gar­ment!
And thou, too, shalt be free!
His sav­ing pow­er this ve­ry hour
Shall give new life to thee!

She came in fear and trem­bling be­fore Him,
She knew her Lord had come;
She felt that from Him vir­tue had healed her,
The migh­ty deed was done.

Refrain

He turned with Daugh­ter, be of good com­fort,
Thy faith hath made thee whole!
And peace that pass­eth all un­der­stand­ing
With glad­ness filled her soul.
