lyrics

PASS ME NOT
Music by Fanny Crosby, 1868 (public domain)
New lyrics by George Elliott Clarke, 2018

Saviour, Saviour Do not pass me by
Pass me not, O stalwart Saviour! Rally to my cry
Tally not my weak behaviour Do not pass me by
Refrain:
Saviour, Saviour
Rally to my cry!
Tally not my weak behaviour Do not pass me by
Sally ‘gainst the cemetery
That levels all thy saints!
Dismay the graveyard’s symmetry: Rouse the dead from faints!
Refrain
Saviour, Saviour Saviour, Saviour Saviour, Saviour...
Do not pass me by
