Heal us ! We Are Deep Wounded Souls

Heal Us

Heal us, Emmanuel, here we are

We long to feel Thy touch

Deep wounded souls to Thee we fly

O Savior hear our cry

Our faith is feeble, we confess

We faintly trust Thy word

But will You pity us the less?

Be that far from You Lord!

Heal us, Emmanuel, here we are

We long to feel Thy touch

Deep wounded souls to Thee we fly

O Savior hear our cry

Remember him who once applied

With trembling for relief

“Lord, I believe,” with tears he cried

“O help my unbelief!"

Heal us, Emmanuel, here we are

We long to feel Thy touch

Deep wounded souls to Thee we fly

O Savior hear our cry

She, too, who touched you in the press

And healing virtue stole

Was answered, “Daughter, go in peace

Thy faith has made thee whole.

Heal us, Emmanuel, here we are

We long to feel Thy touch

Deep wounded souls to Thee we fly

O Savior hear our cry

Like her, with hopes and fears we come

To touch You if we may

O send us not despairing home

Send none unhealed away

Heal us, Emmanuel, here we are

We long to feel Thy touch

Deep wounded souls to Thee we fly

O Savior hear our cry

-Cowper
