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.

Pray for me felt God had opened up a way to reach out to my neighbour whose home was invaded twice and damaged by a person known to him. (I had been praying for my neighbours for some time) things went in an unexpected direction and I don't know how to proceed further now.

There is so much work to be done to win souls for Jesus Christ. Let us begin from our homes. God will help us.

I had heard it before, but today morning it was impressed deep in my mind. Great hymn. May God give us a burden for the lost because in that process we ourselves will be cleansed more and more.

I always love Fanny Crosby song but this one always comforts me, letting me know that even though I'm in a wheelchair she wrote those words of the blind woman and knowing that being in a wheelchair does not keep me from my duty which is to rescue the perishing.
