Rescue the Perishing - Fanny Crosby

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!

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.

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.

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 wanderer a Savior has died.
