731 C.M. WIlliam Cowper
“I am the Lord that healeth thee.” Exod. 15. 26
1
Heal us, Immanuel, here we are,
 
Waiting to feel thy touch;
 
Deep-wounded souls to thee repair,
 
And, Saviour, 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 hath made thee whole.”
5
Like her, with hopes and fears we come,
 
To touch thee, if we may;
 
O send us not despairing home;
 
Send none unhealed away.
