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.
Refrain:
Rescue the perishing;
Care for the dying.
Jesus is merciful;
Jesus will save!
2 Tho' 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. [Refrain]
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,
Cords that are broken will vibrate once more. [Refrain]
4 Rescue the perishing; duty demands it.
Strength for your labor the Lord will provide.
Back to the narrow way patiently win them,
Tell the poor wand'rer a Savior has died. [Refrain]
