Heal Us Emmanuel, Hear Our Prayer

Heal us, Emmanuel, hear our prayer We wait to feel Thy touch; Deep wounded souls to Thee repair, And Savior, we are such.

Our faith is feeble, we confess We faintly trust Thy Word; But wilt Thou pity us the less? Be that far from Thee, Lord!

Remember him who once applied With trembling for relief “Lord, I believe,” with tears he cried; “O help my unbelief!”

She, too, who touched Thee in the press And healing virtue stole, Was answered, “Daughter, go in peace; Thy faith has made thee whole.”

Concealed amid the gathering throng, She would have shunned Thy view; And if her faith was firm and strong, Had strong misgivings too.

Like her, with hopes and fears we come To touch Thee if we may; O send us not despairing home; Send none unhealed away.
