Heal Us, Emmanuel

Heal us

Em­ma­nu­el

hear our pray­er

[originally

Heal us

Em­ma­nu­el

here we are]

We wait to feel Thy touch;

Deep wound­ed souls to Thee re­pair

And Sav­ior

we are such.

Our faith is fee­ble

we con­fess

We faint­ly trust Thy Word;

But wilt Thou pi­ty us the less?

Be that far from Thee

Lord!

Remember him who once ap­plied

With trem­bling for re­lief

Lord

I be­lieve

with tears he cried;

O help my un­be­lief!

She

too

who touched Thee in the press

And heal­ing vir­tue stole

Was an­swered

Daugh­ter

go in peace;

Thy faith has made thee whole.

Concealed amid the ga­ther­ing throng

She would have shunned Thy view;

And if her faith was firm and strong

Had strong mis­giv­ings

too.

Like her

with hopes and fears we come

To touch Thee if we may;

O send us not des­pair­ing home

Send none un­healed away.
