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.
