Rescue The Perishing

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.

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.

Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;
Strength for thy labour the Lord will provide;
Back to the narrow way patiently win them;
Tell the poor wander'r a Saviour has died.
