367- Rescue the Perishing

Christian Church: Mission of the Church

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.

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.
