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.

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.

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.

My father used to listen to a radio station every morning. When I was a very little girl if mabe 5 or 6, called 'The Wilbur Nelson Chapel Hour". They started the program with this song. Forgot about it til this morning, when the Lord was speaking to me about 'lost souls' and getting my priorities straight. I am now 65 years old. I thank God for this song. I will read them frequently now, as a reminder of the "greatest cause on earth"... The Salvation of Souls!!!" Lord help us to remember, and to focus on this. Thanks for this beautiful reminder.

My heart burns for lost souls. This song ignites it, singing it over and over. Hell is a real place with horrific torments. Oh rescue the perishing. Let the boldness of the Holy Ghost burst forth in the power of The Gospel to save in the name of Jesus! We pray for the Spirit of Obedience.

It's a wonderful song. I love it.

No words have rung the bells for the need of evangelism in a dying world as this "Macedonian call" by Fanny Crosby. It sounds the urgency of the coming Kingdom and the need to get all GOD's children into His fold.
I can go on listening to this song all month on. I've always listened with tears about my conviction both as a sinner and the saved cos my salvaction is only complete with a thousand beside.
