Bob Dylan performed this song live to open five concerts in his 2002 American tour. (from Wikipedia)Fanny Cros­by was probab­ly the most prolific hymnist in histoy. Though blinded by an incompetent doctor at six weeks of age, she wrote over 8,000 hymns. About her blindness, she said:It seemed intended by the blessed providence of God that I should be blind all my life, and I thank him for the dis­pen­sa­tion. If perfect earthly sight were offered me to­morrow I would not accept it. I might not have sung hymns to the praise of God if I had been distracted by the beau­ti­ful and interesting things about me.In her life­time, Fanny Crosby was one of the best known women in the Unit­ed States. To this day, the vast ma­or­i­ty of Amer­i­can hymnals contain her work.Words: Fanny Crosby 1868Music: William H Doane 1870Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour© 2012 Shiloh Worship MusicG C GPass me not O gentle Saviour,D7 GHear my humble cry!G C GWhile on others Thou art calling.D7 G D7 GDo not pass me by (I'm calling)Chorus:G CSaviour, Saviour,G D7Hear my humble cry!G C GWhile on others Thou art calling,D7 G D7 GDo not pass me by.Let me at Thy throne of mercy, find a sweet relief:Kneeling there in deep contrition, help my unbelief.ChorusTrusting only in Thy merit, would I seek Thy face;Heal my broken wounded spirit; save me by Thy graceChorusThou the spring of all my comfort, more than life to me.Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
