772. Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior

1 Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
hear my humble cry;
while on others thou art smiling,
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 thy 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]
