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.
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
Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;
Strength for thy
labour the Lord will provide;
Back to the narrow way
patiently win them;
Tell the poor wand¡¦rer a Saviour has
died.
