Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS: Pass me not, O gentle Saviour

Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered. Joel 2:32

1.  Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
   Hear my humble cry;
   While on others Thou art calling,
   Do not pass me by.
 
Chorus:
   Saviour! Saviour! Hear my humble cry.
   And while 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.

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

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?

Amen.
