Rescue the Perishing { Rescue the Perishing by Fanny J. Crosby 2Pe 3:9 JULIAN-Josiah Booth RESCUE-William Howard Doane 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. Chorus 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 truly believe. Down in the human heart, Crushed by the tempter, Feelings lie buried that grace can restore; Touched by a loving hand, Wakened by kindness, Chords that were broken will vibrate once more. 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.
