SCENIC SUNDAYS: Rescue The Perishing

Taken near Glen Arbor on Lake Michigan

Today's hymn is an old one 
and here's a link to the story behind it.  

Rescue the Perishing

Fanny Crosby

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

Chorus:

Rescue the perishing,

Care for the dying;

Jesus is merciful

Jesus will save!

Though they are slighting Him,

Still He is waiting.
Waiting, the pentient 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.
