302. Pass me not, O gentle Savior

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

2 Let me at the throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief.
Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

3 Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit
Save me by Thy grace.
Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

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?
Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
