Author: Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #211 (2011) Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal Refrain First Line: Rescue the perishing, care for the dying Lyrics: 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.
Refrain:
Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.
2 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]
3 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]
4 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] Topics: The Gospel; Gospel Tidings; Holiness; Invitation Scripture: Luke 19:10 Languages: English Tune Title: RESCUE
