Rescue the Perishing

(Fanny J. Crosby - William Howard Doane)



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.



Rescue the perishing, care for the dying

Jesus is merciful Jesus will 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.



Rescue the perishing, care for the dying

Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.

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 Saviour has died.



Rescue the perishing, care for the dying

Jesus is merciful Jesus will save...
