LyicsPASS me not, O gentle Saviour!
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art smiling,
Do not pass me by.--CHO.
Chorus.--Saviour, Saviour, hear my humble cry!
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Let me at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my 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 heav'n but Thee?--CHO.
