Rescue the Perishing by Fanny J. Crosby
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.
Though the 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.
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, duty demands it;
Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;
Back to the narrow way patiently win them;
Tell the poor wonderer a Savior has died.

O Christ, in thee my soul hath found,
and found in thee alone,

the bliss till now unknown.I sighed for rest and happiness,
I yearned for them, not thee;

his love laid ho...
