Pass me not, O gracious Father! Sinful though my heart may be; Thou might'st leave me, but the rather Let thy mercy rest on me. Even me, even me, Let some drops now fall on me.

Have I long in sin been sleeping? Long been slighting, grieving, thee? Has the world my heart been keeping? O forgive and rescue me! Even me, even me, Let some drops now fall on me.

Verse 4

Pass me not, O Holy Spirit! Thou canst make the blind to see; Testify of Jesus' merit, Speak the word of peace to me. Even me, even me, Let some drops now fall on me.
