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?
