767. Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior

1 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.

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

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

4 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? [Refrain]
