The Two Edged Sword

Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry,
While on others Thou are 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.

Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry,
While on others Thou are calling,
Do not pass me by.


These are the words to a famous hymn by the late Fannie Crosby, but do you know where the words; “Do not pass me by” appeared in the scriptures?

… Do you give up?

Abraham said these words in Genesis 18:3. The setting was by the oaks of Mamre, where the Lord appeared to Abraham. In verse 3 of this passage he said to the Lord, “My Lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please do not pass your servant by.”
