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

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.
