Rescue the Perishing
"Preach the gospel to every creature." - Mark 16:15
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.
CHORUS
Rescue the perishing
Care for the dying
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.
VERSE 2
Tho' they are slighting Him
Still He is waiting,
Waiting the penitent child to recieve,
Plead with them earnestly,
Plead with them gently:
He will forgive if only they believe.
CHORUS
Rescue the perishing
Care for the dying
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.
VERSE 3
Rescue the perishing,
Duty demands it;
Strength for thy labour the Lord will provide;
Back to the narrow way
Patiently win them
Tell the poor wand'rer a Saviour has died.
CHORUS
Rescue the perishing
Care for the dying
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.
