12836. Touch The Hem Of His Garment

1 Let me touch the hem of His garment,
And the touch will make me whole;
Let me reach the blessed Savior,
The Redeemer of my soul.

Refrain:
You can now touch the hem of His garment,
If by faith you enter in,
He will cleanse you from your sin;
You can now touch the hem of His garment,
He will cleanse and make you clean.

2 Tho’ the throng is dense and threat’ning,
Still my Savior’s form I see;
Could I only touch His garment,
That alone would pardon me. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ my sins be great and many,
Yet His voice I seem to hear;
Stand aside, O careless list’ner,
Let the weary ones draw near. [Refrain]

4 Let me touch the hem of His garment,
While the Blessed One is nigh;
For the throng grows dense and denser,
And they soon will pass me by. [Refrain]
