Verse 1
She (B)only touched the hem (Bdim)of (B)His (E)gar(B)ment
As (F#)to His side she (B)stole,
A(B)mid the throng that ga(Bdim)thered (B)a(E)round (B)Him,
And (F#/C#)instant(C#6)ly (C#7)was (F#)whole.

Chorus
Oh, (B)touch the hem of His (E)gar(B)ment
And (E)thou too (B)shalt [or: canst] be (F#)free;
His (B)saving (F#)power this (B)very (E6)hour
Shall (B/F#)give new (F#7)life to (B)Thee!

Verse 2
She (B)came in fear and trem(Bdim)bling (B)be(E)fore (B)Him,
She (F#)knew her Lord had (B)come;
She (B)felt from Him that vir(Bdim)tue (B)had (E)healed (B)her,
The (F#/C#)mighty (C#6)deed (C#7)was (F#)done!

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse 3
He (B)turned with, "Daughter, be (Bdim)of (B)good (E)com(B)fort,
Thy (F#)faith hath made thee (B)whole."
And (B)peace that passeth all (Bdim)un(B)der(E)stand(B)ing
Had (F#/C#)filled her (C#6)sad (C#7)dened (F#)soul.

[Repeat Chorus]
