Pass Me Not O Gentle Savior ...9:31 am
Of all the old sacred songs from the hills that Dylan has revived for his live shows, this one is probably my favorite. Pass Me Not O Gentle Savior is a special song, with a lyric written by Fanny Crosby in 1868. It again seems likely he picked this one up from the Stanley Brothers. Here, for a little while, is an mp3 of Dylan and the boys performing it in Santa Cruz, California on March 15th, 2000.
And these are the words as Dylan sings them:
Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me bySavior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me byPlace me at the throne of mercy
Find my sweet relief
While I kneel in deep contrition
Heal my unbeliefSavior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by
