We’ll have to use this some time at mgpc.
From the prolific Frances Jane van Alstyne (Fanny Crosby), always sung to the tune Pass Me Not.
I don’t think anyone’s be silly enough to attempt to retune this one.
The lyrics.
1
Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
hear my humble cry;
while on others thou art calling,
do not pass me by.
[Refrain:]
Saviour, Saviour,
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]
Here’s a version from Red Mountain Church.
A wonderfully spare abbreviated version by Fernando Ortega, which brings the refrain in after the first two verses.
