“That I might touch the hem of His garment, br Reach down and touch the tassel of blue.” br Breaking the stern Levitical commandment br Which declared her defiled and under a curse br [Chapter fifteen, dreaded twenty-fifth verse], br She stooped and touched – and oh the feeling br Of coming out of a grave, of instant healing, br The flow arrested, and resurrection health! br br Those painful years of perpetual pleading br With Jewish physicians, adept in bleeding br Patients to death; broken and bleeding, br She had lost all her wealth. br She stooped and touched – her heart reeling br With torrents of joy at the miracle of healing; br She came and fell at the feet of the Lord br [Jesus, Saviour, Healer, God! ]; br Narrated her story, fearing and trembling, br The terrible years of quacksalving remembering, br Tears of joy she could not arrest.
