Hymn 515 - He Touched Me

Main message: Experience transformation after encountering Christ.


Bible references:

  • V1. "heavy burden" (Matthew 11:28-30)

"shame" (Psalm 25:2-3)

"Jesus touched me" (Matthew 8:3-5; 9:27-31)(Mark 7:32-37)

  • V2. "cleansed" (Psalm 51:1-2)(Isaiah 61:7)

"never cease to praise Him" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

"shout...eternity" (Psalm 145:2)


Keywords: heavy, burden, guilt, shame, hand of Jesus, He touched me, O, joy, soul, something, happened, make me whole, blessed Savior


Interpretation notes:

  • The hymn uses forward-moving meter with emphasis on the first beat. 

  • Repeated melodic notes highlight key words in the verse. 

  • In the chorus, 'He touched me' is set with quarter and half notes. 

  • In line 3, higher notes are used on 'Jesus' touch,' while 'me' and 'my soul' are set lower. 

  • Syncopation appears on 'something happened,' and the melody reaches a climactic peak before resolving.

515 (Notated Score)

"Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." – Eph. 5:19
