Bb
Rescue the perishing,

     Eb         Bb
Care for the dy-ing;

F              Bb        F   C7      F
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;

Bb
Weep o’er the erring one,

     F          Bb
Lift up the fal-len,

F            Bb         Eb    F7   Bb
Tell them of Jesus, the might-y to save.

F          Bb
Rescue the perishing,

Care for the dying;

Eb       Bb
Jesus is merciful,

Eb    F7   Bb
Jesus will save.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[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.
