| 1. Heal us, Emmanuel, hear our prayer
We wait to feel Thy touch;
Deep wounded souls to Thee repair,
And Savior, we are such.
2. Our faith is feeble, we confess
We faintly trust Thy Word;
But wilt Thou pity us the less?
Be that far from Thee, Lord!
3. Remember him who once applied
With trembling for relief
“Lord, I believe,” with tears he cried;
“O help my unbelief!”
4. She, too, who touched Thee in the press
And healing virtue stole,
Was answered, “Daughter, go in peace;
Thy faith has made thee whole.”
5. Concealed amid the gathering throng,
She would have shunned Thy view;
And if her faith was firm and strong,
Had strong misgivings too.
6. Like her, with hopes and fears we come
To touch Thee if we may;
O send us not despairing home;
Send none unhealed away.
7. ***alt verses
8. Heal us, Emmanuel, here we are, We wait to feel Thy touch; Deep wounded souls to Thee repair, And Savior, we are such.
