9758. Jesus Is Passing By

1 Come, contrite one, and seek His grace,
Jesus is passing by;
See in His reconciling face,
The sunshine of the sky.

Refrain:
Passing by, passing by,
Hasten to meet Him on the way;
Jesus is passing by today;
Passing by, passing by.

2 Come, hungry one, and tell your need,
Jesus is passing by;
The Bread of Life your soul will feed,
And fully satisfy. [Refrain]

3 Come, weary one, and find sweet rest,
Jesus is passing by;
Come where the longing heart is blessed,
And on His bosom lie. [Refrain]

4 Come, burdened one, bring all your care,
Jesus is passing by;
The love that listens to your prayer
Will "no good thing" deny. [Refrain]
