Rescue the Perishing


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. 
Refrain: 
Rescue the perishing, care for the dying; 
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. (Refrain) 

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.  (Refrain)

Galatians 6 
1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.


Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time (During Verse 1), make remarks about reaching out and helping others in their time of need.

There are so many people who could benefit from having
just a little help and encouragement in these troubled times. Let God guide you to the right person, in the right place, and at the right time.
2. As the song continues (During Verses 2 - 3), read the scripture

from Galatians 6:1-9. Let the song end. 
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1 - 3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.​
