Text:"Do not pass me"
Author:Mrs. F. C. Van Alstyne
Tune:PASS ME NOT
Composer:W. H. Doane

286. "Do not pass me"

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 thy 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 on earth have I beside thee,
Whom in heaven but thee! [Chorus]
