Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Chorus:--
Saviour, Saviour, hear my humble cry;
While on others thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Let me at a throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief.
Trusting only in thy merit,
Would I seek thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by thy grace.
Thou the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me:
Whom have I on earth beside thee?
Whom in heaven but thee?
Pass me not, O gentle Saviour
Thou canst make me see;
Thy salvation, Jesus, Saviour!
Speak some word to me.
