Lyrics

Verse 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.

Verse 2

Down in the human heart, Crushed 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.

Verse 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 wand'rer a Savior has died.

Chorus

Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying;

Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.

Scriptural Foundations

Preference: NASB 2020
  • 9The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance.
