Jesus Christ is passing by,
Sinner, lift to Him thine eye;
As the precious moments flee,
Cry, “Be merciful to me! "
Jesus Christ is passing by,
Will He always be so nigh?
Now is the accepted day,
Seek for healing while you may.
Lo! He stands and calls to thee,
“What wilt thou then have of Me? "
Rise, and tell Him all thy need;
Rise — He calleth thee indeed.
“Lord, I would Thy mercy see;
Lord, reveal Thy love to me;
Let it penetrate my soul,
All my heart and life control."
Oh, how sweet! the touch of power
Comes, — it is salvation's hour;
Jesus gives from guilt release,
“Faith hath saved thee, go in peace! "
