Lyics

PASS me not, O gentle Saviour;

Hear my humble cry;

While on others thou art smiling,

Do not pass me by.-CHO.



CHO.- Sav-iour, Sav-iour, hear my hum-ble cry;

While on oth-ers thou art cal-ling,

Do not pass me by.



Let me at thy throne of mercy

Find a sweet relief,

Kneeling there in deep contrition;

Help mine unbelief.-CHO.



Trusting only in thy merit,

Would I seek thy face:

Heal my wounded, broken spirit,

Save me by thy grace.-CHO.



THOU the Spring of all my comfort,

More than life to me,

Whom on earth have I beside thee?

Whom in heaven but thee?-CHO.
