Original text and translations

English text

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
And while others thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

Let me at a throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief
Kneeling there in deep contrition
Help my unbelief.

Trusting only in thy merit
Would I seek thy face
Heal my wounded broken spirit
Save me by thy grace.

Thou the spring of all my comfort
More than life to me
Whom have I on earth beside thee?
Whom in heaven but thee?
