THE LORD HAS PASSED BY

Studio

1O THE Lord has passed by, and he's given me a blessing,
And that's what the Lord has done for me.
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
And that's what the Lord has done for me.

2Is there anybody here like weeping Mary?
O call on my Jesus and he'll draw near.
Glory, glory, &c.

3Is there anybody here like sinking Peter?
O call on my Jesus and he'll draw near.
Glory, glory, &c.

4Is there anybody here like doubting, Thomas?
O call on my Jesus and he'll draw near.
Glory, glory, &c.

5Is there anybody here that wants salvation?
O call on my Jesus and he'll draw near.
Glory, glory, &c.
