1 Jesus, Thou Lamb of God,
Save, save Thou me;
Troubled in spirit,
Lord, I bring to Thee
Only a broken heart,
Only a sigh;
Lord, in Thy Name I come,
Pass me not by.

2 Here at Thy Cross I bend,
Weeping, alone;
O for one look of Thine,
One loving tone;
Here, like a bruised reed,
Helpless I lie;
Lord, in Thy Name I come,
Pass me not by.

3 Though I am sinful now,
Weak and defiled,
Lord, I am penitent,
Make me Thy child;
Here at the fountain’s brink,
Fainting I lie;
Lord, in Thy Name I come,
Pass me not by.

4 Lord, Thou canst make me clean,
Heal Thou my soul;
Let me but touch Thy hand,
I shall be whole,
Thou wilt not leave me here,
Hopeless to die;
Lord, in Thy Name I come,
Pass me not by.

Author: W. Howard Doane

An industrialist and philanthropist, William H. Doane (b. Preston, CT, 1832; d. South Orange, NJ, 1915), was also a staunch supporter of evangelistic campaigns and a prolific writer of hymn tunes. He was head of a large woodworking machinery plant in Cincinnati and a civic leader in that city. He showed his devotion to the church by supporting the work of the evangelistic team of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey and by endowing Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and Denison University in Granville, Ohio. An amateur composer, Doane wrote over twenty-two hundred hymn and gospel song tunes, and he edited over forty songbooks. Bert Polman… Go to person page >
