Verse 1
AbPass me Dbnot, O gentle AbSavior,
Ebhear my Abhum-Ebble Abcry;
Abwhile on Dbothers Thou art Abcalling,
Ebdo Abnot pass Eb7me Abby.
Refrain (after every verse)
AbSavior, DbSavior, Abhear my humble Ebcry;
Abwhile on Dbothers Thou art Abcalling,
Ebdo Abnot pass Eb7me Abby.
Verse 2
AbLet me Dbat a throne of Abmercy
Ebfind a Absweet Ebre-Ablief,
Abkneeling Dbthere in deep con-Abtrition;
Ebhelp Abmy un-Eb7be-Ablief.
Verse 3
AbTrusting Dbonly in Thy Abmerit,
Ebwould I Abseek EbThy Abface;
Abheal my Dbwounded, broken Abspirit,
Ebsave Abme by Eb7Thy Abgrace.
Verse 4
AbThou, the DbSpring of all my Abcomfort,
Ebmore than Ablife Ebto Abme;
Abwhom have DbI on earth be-Abside Thee?
EbWhom Abin heav'n Eb7but AbThee?
