Saviour, I by faith am touching

258
				8.7.8.7.D.

1	Saviour, I by faith am touching
	Thee, the source of every good;
	Virtue now, by faith am claiming,
	Thro’ the cleansing of Thy blood.

		Touching Thee, new life is glowing,
		By Thy Spirit’s burning flame;
		Cleansing, purging, spirit filling,
		Glory to Thy Holy Name!

2	Touching Thee in faith, I promise,
	By Thine own unfailing aid,
	Prompt obedience, instant service,
	When and where it should be paid.

3	Touching now Thine outstretched scepter,
	O most mighty King of kings;
	Of Thy fullness now receiving,
	High I mount on eagle wings.

4	Grace and virtue, strength and wisdom,
	All my need, by Thee supplied,
	Keep me touching, keep me claiming,
	Keep me ever at Thy side
