Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour

PASS ME NOT, O GENTLE SAVIOUR.


Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art smiling,
Do not pass me by.

Let me at a throne of mercy,
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in great 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 heav'n but Thee?

Saviour, Saviour
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

Amen.


By Fanny Crosby (1820-1915)
