306. Pass Me Not

1 Pass me not, O gentle Savior -
Hear my humble cry!
While on others Thou art smiling,
Do not pass me by.

Chorus:
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry!
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

2 Let me at a throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief. [Chorus]

3 Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace. [Chorus]

4 Thou the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me!
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in heav'n but Thee? [Chorus]
