Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#247

247. Pass me not, O Gentle Saviour

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

Chorus:
Saviour, Saviour, hear my humble cry,
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

2 Let me at the throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief,
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief. [Chorus]

3 Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace. [Chorus]

4 Thou the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in heaven but Thee. [Chorus]
