Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior

1.	Pass me not, O gentle Savior, 
	hear my humble cry; 
	while on others thou art calling, 
	do not pass me by.

Refrain:
	Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry; 
	while on others thou art calling, 
	do not pass me by.

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)
