ANTHEM: Saved By a Touch by Paul Bouman; Maria Schafer, soprano; Myles Mineer, bass
Who was it, Lord, that touched you? Who ventured from the crowd? Who was it brushed your garment at risk of shame untold? Let it be me, Lord Jesus, who dares the touch of faith. Let me move in your shadow through boundary lands of death. Who was it felt your power transmitted by a touch? Who, Lord, in gently brushing, resisted need to clutch? May I today, Lord, boldly, in presence of your saints, touch you by proud confession and bare my heart’s complaints. Who was it heard the promise of health in sins forgiven? Who found your garment’s hemline convey the grace of heaven? Today, let it be me, Lord, who feels your saving power. Let me faith simply yielded – find healing in this hour. [Walter J. Bartling, based on Mark 5:25-34]
