Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS: She only touched the hem of His garment

For she said within herself, if I may but touch His garment I shall be well. Matt.9:21

1.  She only touched the hem of His garment
   As to His side she stole
   Amid the crowd that gathered around Him
   And straight way she was whole.

Chorus:
   Oh, touch the hem of His garment
   And thou, too shalt be free
   His saving power this very hour
   Shall give new life to thee.

2. She came in fear and trembling before Him
   She knew her Lord had come
   She felt that from Him virtue had 9healed her
   The mighty deed was done.

3. He turned with, Daughter be of good comfort
   Thy faith hath made thee whole
   And peace that passeth all understanding
   With gladness filled her soul.

Amen.

YORUBA LYRICS: Iseti Re lo f’owo kan

Nitori O wi ninu ara re pe, bi mo ba sa le fi owo kan aso Re, ara mi o da. Mat. 9:21

1. Iseti Re lo f’owo kan
   Bo ti sunmo ‘do Re;
   Larin opo eniyan to pejo
   O si r’iwosan gba.

 Dide, f’owokan aso Re;
Iwo yo r’iwosan,
Ase iwosan Re sibe
Yo mu o lara le.

2. Teruteru l’obinrin na wole,
   Olugbala ti de;
   Ase iwosan jade lara Re
   O si mu larada.

3. Jesu yipada, O soro ‘tunu:
   Ma lo pelu ‘gbagbo;
   Alafia de sin’ obinrin na,
   Ayo kun okan re.
Amin.
