I've Touched the Hem of His Garment

Verse 1

In faith she touched the hem of His garment As to His side she stole, Amid the crowd that gathered around Him, And straightway she was whole.

Chorus

I’ve touched the hem of His garment, And now I, too, am free; His healing pow’r this very hour Gives life and health to me.

Verse 2

She came with fear and trembling before Him— She knew her Lord had come; She felt that from Him virtue had healed her, The mighty deed was done.

Chorus

I’ve touched the hem of His garment, And now I, too, am free; His healing pow’r this very hour Gives life and health to me.

Verse 3

He turned with, “Daughter, be of good comfort, Thy faith hath made thee whole,” And peace which passeth all understanding With gladness filled her soul.

Chorus

I’ve touched the hem of His garment, And now I, too, am free; His healing pow’r this very hour Gives life and health to me.
