367. Rescue the Perishing

Verse 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 1

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying;

Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.

Verse 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.

Chorus 3

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying;

Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.

Verse 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 Savior has died.

Chorus 5

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying;

Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.
