<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Sometime after [this] hymn became known I was at a service one evening and a young man told the story of his conversion. Poor and hungry, he had walked the streets for want of something better to do. He heard the singing at a mission; he went in; and before the service was concluded his heart broke in contrition.</p>
|
|
<p>“I was just ready to perish,” he said to me, “but that hymn, by the grace of God saved me.”</p>

|
<p>Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,<br>
|
|
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;<br>
|
|
Weep o’er the erring one, lift up the fallen,<br>
|
|
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,<br>
|
|
Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.</p>
|
|
<p>Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting,<br>
|
|
Waiting the penitent child to receive;<br>
|
|
Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently;<br>
|
|
He will forgive if they only believe.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter,<br>
|
|
Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;<br>
|
|
Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness,<br>
|
|
Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;<br>
|
|
Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;<br>
|
|
Back to the narrow way patiently win them;<br>
|
|
Tell the poor wand’rer a Savior has died.</p>
