Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration #299 (1986) Meter: 11.10.11.10 with refrain First Line: Rescue the perishing, care for the dying 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.
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] Topics: Missions and Evangelism Tune Title: RESCUE
