367. Rescue the Perishing

A
Rescue the perishing,

     D          A
Care for the dy-ing;

E              A         E   B7      E
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;

A
Weep o’er the erring one,

     E          A
Lift up the fal-len,

E            A          D     E7   A
Tell them of Jesus, the might-y to save.

E          A
Rescue the perishing,

E            A
Care for the dying;

D        A
Jesus is merciful,

D     E7   A
Jesus will save.


[[Full 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.

[Refrain]
Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.

[Verse 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.

[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 wanderer a Savior has died.
