Representative Text

1 Pass me not, O loving Saviour,
When I call to thee;
As for mercy I am pleading,
Mercy grant to me.
Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
Thou of all most kind;
Save me from the great temptations
That allure the mind.

Refrain:
Hear me, hear me,
Jesus, Saviour dear;
Hear me as I plead for mercy;
Oh, be ever near.

2 Pass me not, O gracious Saviour;
Low I bend to thee!
And for mercy now am calling,
Saviour, pardon me.
Pass me not, O tender Saviour;
Hear my earnest cry;
Help me, or I perish striving;
Do not pass me by. [Refrain]
