Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying 
Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, snatch them in pity from sin and the grave; weep over 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. 
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. 
Refrain: Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save. 
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. 
Refrain: 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 Savior has died. 
Refrain: Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.
