Pass Not By

Representative Text

1 I am weak, and I am small,
But I’ve heard Thy gentle call;
Savior, hear my earnest cry,
Jesus, do not pass me by.

Refrain:
Tho’ a little child am I,
Jesus, do not pass me by;
Pass me by, pass me by,
Jesus, do not pass me by.

2 I have been a wayward child,
From the way of truth beguiled;
But when I for mercy cry,
Jesus, do not pass me by. [Refrain]
