Representative Text

1 Burdened by sin and despairing,
Treading life’s treacherous sand;
Now for my soul Christ is caring,
Healed by the touch of His hand.

Refrain:
Healed by the touch of His hand,
Healed by the touch of His hand;
Love is my story, Christ is my glory,
Healed by the touch of His hand.

2 Peace to my heart He has given,
You should this blessing demand;
Life with the sweet peace of Heaven,
Healed by the touch of His hand. [Refrain]

3 When I shall look on His glory,
All of His love understand;
Then I shall sing the sweet story,
Healed by the touch of His hand. [Refrain]
