Rescue the Perishing

Listen to:

  Rescue the Perishing (.midi)
  Rescue the Perishing (.mp3)

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.	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. 
	(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,
	
	chords that were broken will vibrate once
	more.
	(Refrain) 


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.
	
	(Refrain)
