215. Jesus is Passing By.

1 Weary with bearing your heavy burden,
Will you not lift to the Lord your cry?
Come and be saved, 'tis the day of mercy,
Jesus is passing by.

Chorus:
Passing by,
Passing by;
Will you not call on Him for mercy,
While He is passing by.

2 Dare you refuse His divine compassion?
Dare you His mercy and love defy?
Others are finding the great salvation,
While He is passing by. [Chorus]

3 "What wilt thou have me to do?" He's asking,
For He has heard your unspoken sigh;
Soon for each soul whom today He's calling,
Jesus will have passed by. [Chorus]
