Pass me not, O gentle Savior, hear my humble cry;
while on others thou art calling, do not pass me by.
I'm calling Savior, O Savior, please hear my humble cry,
while on others thou art calling, Savior do not pass me by,
Let me at thy throne of mercy
tell me find a sweet relief,
kneeling there in deep contrition; help my unbelief
I'm calling Savior, O Savior, please hear my humble cry, O

while on others thou art calling, Savior do not pass me by,
Trusting only in thy merit,
would I seek thy face;
heal my wounded, broken spirit,
save me by thy grace.
I'm calling savior, O Savior, hear my humble cry,
while on others thou art calling, Master do not pass me by,
I'm calling Savior, O savior, hear my humble cry,
while on others thou art calling, Master do not pass me by,
