Savior, Pass Not By

Representative Text

1 Saviour, pass not by;
Hear my earnest cry;
Thou alone canst cleanse my sin;
In this sacred hour,
Show Thy savior power;
Now the work of grace begin.

Refrain:
O my Saviour,
Hear my earnest cry;
O my Saviour,
Hear, and pass not by.

2 From Thy wounds there flows
Balm for all my woes;
Great Physician, make me whole;
I believe Thy word;
Now Thy help afford;
Come and raise my prostrate soul. [Refrain]

3 Lord, I long to trace,
In Thy smiling face,
That my sins are all forgiven;
Now Thyself impart;
Fill my waiting heart
With the joy and peace of heaven. [Refrain]
