The Healing Touch.

"When she heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment." Mrs. E. C. Ellsworth.

Mark v. 27.

WM. J. KIRKPATRICK.

1. An eager, restless crowd drew near, And round the Saviour pressed;
2. The multi-tude, with curious eyes, Just gazed up - on
his face;

3. Oh, near to Christ the many came, In that most favored hour!
4. Of all who throng his courts to-day Who shall re-ceive his word?

But one, with warm and loving faith, His healing power confessed.
But she glanced up with hope and love, To feel his saving grace.
But one stretched out the hand of faith, And touched his healing power.
Who shall reach forth with faith sincere To touch the heal-ing Lord?

CHORUS.

She had touched the hem of his garment, Trusting with all her soul; last v. Come and touch the hem of his garment, Trusting with all your soul;

For ev'ry touch of the lov- ing Je-sus Can make the wounded whole.

Fingers that point to thee, Glad voices calling me Near-er to thee.
Lead upward to the light, Thro' portals ev-er bright Near-er to thee.
Of thee my lips shall sing; My soul in glo-ry bring, Near-er to thee.

129 Cast thy Bread upon the Waters.

Ye who have but scant supply, Poor and weary, worn with care,Ye who have a-bundant store; Far and wide your treasures strew,

1. Cast thy bread up-on the wa-ters,
2. Cast thy bread up-on the wa-ters,
3. Cast thy bread up-on the wa-ters,
4. Cast thy bread up-on the wa-ters,
5. Cast thy bread up-on the wa-ters, Waft it on with praying breath,

Will your sac- ri- fice remem-ber, Will your loving deeds re-pay.
As you look with longing vision Thro' faith's mighty tel- e-scope?
In this life or in the other, It will yet return
to you.
If you love it more than Je- sus, It will keep you from your crown.
Stranger hands, which you have strengthened, May strew lilies over you.
