Pass me not o gentle Saviour
For other things they pass
Life itself comes to an end
Burned up like withered grass
Dawning morn the sun will rise
Then cruises through the day
Clouds they pass her smiling face
Until darkness steals her away
Chorus
Don’t pass on Jesus as He is passing by
Turn to Him right now and let Him hear you cry
I want you Lord in my heart evermore to stay
Pass me not o gentle Saviour, pass me not today
A baby born, life passes on
Fast flows the tide of years
Joy and sorrow swap around
To bring laughter and the tears
The hands of clock go around
Non can stop time passing by
A time to sow, a time to reap
Some time to laugh and to cry
Chorus
Don’t pass on Jesus as He is passing by
Turn to Him right now and let Him hear you cry
I want you Lord in my heart evermore to stay
Pass me not o gentle Saviour, pass me not today
Things will pass, it is the way
Our lives are meant to be
To work to play, to live to die
All laid out for you and me
Jesus is passing knocking doors
To darkened sinful hearts
Let Him in before too late
He turns around and departs
Chorus
Don’t pass on Jesus as He is passing by
Turn to Him right now and let Him hear you cry
I want you Lord in my heart evermore to stay
Pass me not o gentle Saviour, pass me not today
Pass from death unto life
Pass from guilt to pardon now
Pass from chains to free at last
If to Him your knee will bow
Pass me not o gentle Saviour
A sinner helpless o alas
Then redeemed, glory for me
Eternity with you shall never pass
Chorus
Don’t pass on Jesus as He is passing by
Turn to Him right now and let Him hear you cry
I want you Lord in my heart evermore to stay
Pass me not o gentle Saviour, pass me not today
