RESCUE THE PERISHING | COCHYMNS

RESCUE THE PERISHING


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
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 truly believe.


Chorus
Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.


Verse 3
Down in the human heart,
Crushed by the tempter,
Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;
Touched by a loving hand,
Wakened by kindness,
Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.


Chorus
Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.


Verse 4
Rescue the perishing,
Duty demands it;
Strength for the labor the Lord will provide;
Back to the narrow way
Patiently win them;
Tell the poor wanderer a Savior has died.


Chorus
Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.
