Hymns to Help Us Through: “Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior”

Hymns to Help Us Through – #35 – “Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior”...

Hello, friends!!

Today I’m sharing both a hymn to help us through and the personal story that brought this hymn to mind. Sometimes, when bad things happen to us, the Lord uses it as a motivation for us to care for others in such a way as to prevent that bad thing from happening to them.

Three years ago I was forgotten in a way that deeply hurt me. Instead of sulking, however, it made me resolve to not forget others who might be “flying under the radar”. That memory made me want to share this special hymn. I hope it will be a blessing to you…and a bright reminder that you’re not forgotten!!

“Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior”

Tunes: Pass Me Not

Pass me not, O gentle Savior, hear my humble cry;
while on others thou art calling, do not pass me by.
Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry,
while on others thou art calling, do not pass me by.

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

Thou the spring of all my comfort, more than life for me;
whom have I on earth beside thee? Whom in heaven but thee?
Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry,
while on others thou art calling, do not pass me by.
Amen.

Blessings, my friends! :)
