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.

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.

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 Saviour has died.

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying
Jesus is merciful Jesus will save...
