Rescue the perishing care for the dying

Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;

Weep over 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

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 care for the dying

Jesus is merciful Jesus will save

Down in the human heart crushed by the tempter

Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;

Touched by a loving heart wakened by kindness

Chords that were broken will vibrate once more

Rescue the perishing care for the dying

Jesus is merciful Jesus will save

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 wand'rer a Savior has died

Rescue the perishing care for the dying

Jesus is merciful Jesus will save

Rescue the perishing care for the dying

Jesus is merciful Jesus will save
