She only touched the hem of His garment
As to His side she stole,
Amid the crowd that gathered around Him;
And straightway she was whole.
As to His side she stole,
Amid the crowd that gathered around Him;
And straightway she was whole.
Oh, touch the hem of His garment,
And thou, too, shalt be free!
His healing pow’r this very hour
Shall give new life to thee!
And thou, too, shalt be free!
His healing pow’r this very hour
Shall give new life to thee!

She came in 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.
She knew her Lord had come,
She felt that from Him virtue had healed her,
The mighty deed was done.

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

Thank you Lord for healing. To God be the glory.

To touch the Lord’s garments is for us to touch Him in His humanity; when we touch Him, His divine power is transfused, through the perfection of His humanity, into us who touch Him, and it becomes our healing (Luke 8:45-48; Heb. 12:2).
Hallelujah, Christ is the One with the heavenly-ruled deeds, and we can touch Him by exercising our spirit. Praise the Lord 😀

My mum died on Sunday. This hymn is so special to me because when I eventually came to faith I discovered a passion for the old 'proper' hymns and she always mentioned this one. She had a tough life and by rights should have been angry with God but instead she touched the hem of his garment and served him all her days. Whatever way you are bleeding just now, reach out and touch the hem of his garment and be healed. Praise Him for Sylvia even in these dark days. God is Good.
My best hymn of all time

Just like the light heals the darkest night so the songs here healed my down cast and humiliation in the hands of my boss. My pride is restored through Christ Jesus. Definitely, I will recommend this site to friends. Thanks and God Bless you.
