Passing By

Representative Text

1 Ye blind that sit beside the way,
And beg for crumbs of worldly ease,
Jesus is passing by today,
With healing, power, love and peace.

Refrain:
Passing by, passing by,
Call, oh, call while He is nigh;
Passing by, passing by,
Call, oh, call while He is nigh.

2 Oh, ye who tire of sin's dark night,
And hope for yet a brighter day,
The Saviour now will be your light,
Behold He's passing on the way. [Refrain]

3 Tomorrow it may be too late,
These gracious seasons come and go;
Now is your time to fix your state
For ever lasting joy or woe. [Refrain]

4 Ye Christians who have often prayed
For full salvation from your sin;
No longer doubt nor be dismayed,
He's passing by you, take Him in. [Refrain]

5 The Holy Spirit brings Him near
That sinners by Him saved may be,
Believers fill with love and cheer
And sanctify them gloriously. [Refrain]
