Rescue the perishing,

1.Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and the
grave;
Weep o'er the erring one,
Lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus the mighty to save.
Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.
2.Though they are slighting Him,
Still He is waiting,
Waiting the penitent child to receive;
Plead with them earnestly,
Plead with them gently;
He will forgive if they only believe.
3.Down in the human heart,
Crushed by the tempter,
Feelings lie buried that grace can
restore;
Touched by a loving heart,
Wakened by kindness,
Chords that are broken will vibrate
once more.
4.Rescue the perishing,
Duty demands it;
Strength for thy labor the Lord will
provide;
Back to the narrow way
Patiently win them;
Tell the poor wand'rer a Savior has
died.
