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
2
Though
they are the 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.
