Only Thy Garment’s Hem

Crowds are be­hind Thee

crowds are be­fore

Life in a sin­gle mo­ment Thou canst re­store.

Only to touch Thee

spot­less and pure

Only to touch Thy gar­ment

faith brings the cure.

Only Thy gar­ment’s hem

Lord

I im­plore;

Only Thy gar­ment’s hem life will re­store;

Only a touch will bring joy to my soul;

Let me but touch Thy gar­ment

I shall be whole.

Only to touch Thee

Sav­ior

I know

Peace to my trou­bled spir­it Thou wilt be­stow;

Only to touch Thee

this is my pray­er

Longer my hea­vy bur­den I can­not bear.

Lord

I am sin­ful

Thou un­de­filed

Yet dost Thou love and ev­en call me Thy child;

Great is Thy mer­cy

won­drous to me;

Lord

’tis my faith that saves me

glo­ry to Thee!
