Crowds Are Behind Thee, Crowds Are Before

Crowds are behind Thee, crowds are before,

Life in a single moment Thou canst restore.

Only to touch Thee, spotless and pure,

Only to touch Thy garment, faith brings the cure.

Refrain

Only Thy garment's hem, Lord, I implore;

Only Thy garment's hem life will restore;

Only a touch will bring joy to my soul;

Let me but touch Thy garment, I shall be whole.

Only to touch Thee, Savior, I know,

Peace to my troubled spirit Thou wilt bestow;

Only to touch Thee, this is my prayer,

Longer my heavy burden I cannot bear.

Refrain

Lord, I am sinful, Thou undefiled,

Yet dost Thou love and even call me Thy child;

Great is Thy mercy, wondrous to me;

Lord, 'tis my faith that saves me, glory to Thee!

Refrain
