194 Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour
(PASS ME NOT. 8, 5, 8, 5. With Refrain)
Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915 William H. Doane, 1868
 

1.Pass me not, O gentle Saviour, Hear my humble cry;
While on others thou art smiling, Do not pass me by.
Refrain
Saviour, Saviour, hear my humble cry, While on others
Thou art calling, Do not pass me by.(Last verse: Amen.)
2.Let me at thy throne of mercy Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition, Help my unbelief.
Refrain
3.Trusting only in thy merit, Would I seek thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit, Save me by thy grace.
Refrain
4.Thou the Spring of all my comfort, More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside thee? Whom in heaven but thee?
Refrain
