	HEAL us, Emmanuel! we are here,    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.
	William Cowper, 1731-1800
