367   Rescue the Perishing

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.

[C]
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.

[C]
Rescue the perishing
Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful
Jesus will save.

[3]
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.

[C]
Rescue the perishing
Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful
Jesus will save.
