Verse 1
Pass me not, O gentle Saviour, Hear my humble cry; While on others thou art smiling, Do not pass me by.
Refrain
Saviour, Saviour, Hear my humble cry; While on others thou art calling, Do not pass me by.
Verse 2
Let me at thy throne of mercy Find a sweet relief; Kneeling there in deep contrition, Help my unbelief.
Verse 3
Trusting only in thy merit, Would I seek thy face; Heal my wounded, broken spirit, Save me by thy grace.
Verse 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?
