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.Chorus:Rescue the perishing,Care for the dying;Jesus is merciful,Jesus will save.2.Tho' 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. [Chorus]3.Down in the human heart,Crush'd 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. [Chorus]4.Rescue the perishing,Duty demands it,Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;Back to the narrow wayPatiently win them;Tell the poor wand'rer a Saviour has died. [Chorus]
