Hymns

Rescue the Perishing

words: Fanny J. Crosby

music: William H. Doane

Background music: Joyful Noise Music

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.

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.

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.

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

Rescue the perishing,

Care for the dying;

Jesus is merciful,

Jesus will save.
