Pass me not, O gentle Savior, hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling, do not pass me by.
Refrain
Savior, Savior, 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.
Refrain
Trusting only in Thy merit, would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit, save me by Thy grace.
Refrain
Thou the spring of all my comfort, more than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee? Whom in heaven but Thee?
