Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Hallowed Hymns, New and Old #130 (1908) Topics: Rescue Lyrics: 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.
Chorus:
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. [Chorus]
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 were broken will vibrate once more. [Chorus]
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 wanderer a Saviour has died. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Rescue the perishing]
