“Pass Me Not” is presented here as a traditional four-part hymnal setting in 4/4 time. The page includes soprano, alto, tenor, and bass harmony, with four verses of lyrics by Fanny J. Crosby placed under the vocal lines and music by William H. Doane. This is not a lead sheet or improvisation page; it is written hymn repertoire, meant to be performed from the notation as printed. The soprano carries the familiar gospel hymn melody while the lower voices provide full harmonic support underneath.

Measures 1–4 present the opening phrase, “Pass me not, O gentle Savior, hear my humble cry.” The soprano line carries the main melody in a clear, prayerful shape, while the alto, tenor, and bass parts move together in traditional hymn harmony. The stacked verses allow the same music to carry several different stanzas.

Measures 5–8 continue the verse with “While on others Thou art calling, do not pass me by.” The melody remains direct and singable, while the lower voices support the harmony underneath. This section completes the verse and prepares the refrain.

Measures 9–12 begin the refrain, “Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry!” The melody becomes more pleading and memorable here, with the repeated “Savior” text giving the hymn its strongest emotional focus. The four-part harmony gives this refrain a fuller congregational sound.

Measures 13–16 complete the refrain with “While on others Thou art calling, do not pass me by.” The voices move together toward a clear final cadence, ending the hymn with the same humble request heard in the opening verse. The final phrase gives the setting a complete and devotional close.

Interesting fact: Fanny J. Crosby wrote thousands of hymn texts, and “Pass Me Not” is one of her most personal-sounding gospel hymns. Its repeated plea, “Do not pass me by,” gives the hymn a direct prayer-like quality, which is why it has remained common in revival, gospel, and church singing traditions.
