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.

Blessed song. May we keep on keeping on to pray for the lost and wandering ones to come into the fold. Jesus came for all. Thank you Jesus there was room at the cross for me.

The hymal reminds me of the love of God towards all willing to come back to him in total submission. His love to forgive and forget all sins and peace found in His grace.

The whole Lines are not just teaching how sweet the song is but, a reminder to get back to the great commission... Evangelism and remember that Jesus is the only way. Glory to God.

the Lord's love is so great. though we often slight and greive Him, He is always there waiting, waiting to receive all the penitent children. How we need to cooperate with the Lord, who desires all men to be saved, to tell them of Jesus the mighty to save.
