Made Whole

Author: John W. Beebe Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: The press was great, the throng was wild Refrain First Line: His words were full of comfort Lyrics: 1. The press was great, the throng was wild, And I, a sinner all defiled, How could I reach my Savior? Reach Him I must, without delay; And in the press, with fear, dismay, I, trembling, sought my Savior. Refrain His words were full of comfort, They cheered my weary soul; For I had touched His garment, His grace had made me whole; For I had touched His garment, His grace had made me whole. 2. Who touched Me? hear the dear Lord say! The throng was awed, the mass gave way, And I stood near my Savior; Who touched Me? came the gracious word; New life-blood thro’ my being stirred, For I had touched my Savior. [Refrain] 3. Thou seest all these people, Lord, And yet Thou seekest by Thy word To find who touched Thee, Savior? ’Twas thus that His disciples said, But I before Him bowed my head; I knelt before my Savior. [Refrain] 4. Go thou in peace, O hear Him say; From all Thy plague be healed this day; Oh, what a blessèd Savior! To heal the body, save the soul, The vilest of the vile make whole, Oh, how I love my Savior. His words are full of comfort, Oh, how they cheer my soul! By faith I touch His garment, He makes me clean and whole; By faith I touch His garment, He makes me clean and whole. Used With Tune: [The press was great, the throng was wild] Text Sources: Songs of Joy and Gladness No. 2 (Boston, Massachusetts: McDonald, Gill & Company, 1890)
