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.

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.

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 are 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 wand'rer a Savior has died.

Hallelujah 🙏. I'm deeply touch by this hymn as it draws me nigh to Jesus Christ and enables me to recall of He rescued me from sin. May we continue to spread the saving Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏.

A deeply touching oft-sung hymn, which revives the love of God in the hearts of both the gospel preaching saint and the repentant sinner.

Lo más Lindo que me a podido pasar es que puedo experimentar vivir y tener a CRISTO JESUS en mi vida, poderlo atesorar u así poder compartir de su gran Amor a muchísimas personas, no puedo callar tan maravilloso regalo que no puede recibir al conocerlo.
