The Meaning
behind an Old Hymn--really think about the words
Rescue the
Perishing
Fanny
Crosby, William Doane
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.
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.
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, duty demands
it; strength for thy labor the Lord will provide. Back to the narrow way
patiently win them; tell them the poor wanderer a Saviour has died.
Rescue the
perishing, care for the dying, Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.
