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.

Refrain:
O touch the hem of His garment
And thou, too, shalt be free;
His saving 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 His virtue heal her that moment,
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.
