Only a Touch!

Primary Scripture: Mark 5:25-34

Verse 1

Only a touch of the tremulous hand, As the curious throng drew nigh; Only a touch! but how wondrous and grand! The Master was passing by

Chorus

Only a touch! only a touch! Touch Him and you'll know why; Only a touch of His garment's hem, O touch Him! ere He pass by.

Verse 2

Only a touch! but the answer came swift, And tho' all of her living was spent, Only a touch! what a glorious gift, The healing to her was sent.

Chorus

Only a touch! only a touch! Touch Him and you'll know why; Only a touch of His garment's hem, O touch Him! ere He pass by.

Verse 3

Only a touch of the tremulous soul, As she pressed in the surging throng; Only a touch! yet it made her whole, And virtue had made her strong

Chorus

Only a touch! only a touch! Touch Him and you'll know why; Only a touch of His garment's hem, O touch Him! ere He pass by.

Verse 4

Only a touch of His garment's hem, With a hope in His healing grace; Only a touch! with a faith in Him, He turned and beheld her face.

Chorus

Only a touch! only a touch! Touch Him and you'll know why; Only a touch of His garment's hem, O touch Him! ere He pass by.
