G7
CRescue the perishing, Fcare for the Cdying,
Snatch them in pity from G7sin and the Cgrave;
CWeep o'er the erring one, Flift up the Cfallen,
Tell them of Jesus, the G7mighty to Csave.
Chorus
CRescue the perishing, Fcare for the Cdying;
Jesus is G7merciful, Jesus will Csave.
Verse 2
Though Cthey are slighting Him, Fstill He is Cwaiting,
Waiting the penitent G7child to reCceive;
Plead Cwith them earnestly, Fplead with them Cgently;
He will forgive if they G7only beClieve.
Verse 3
CRescue the perishing, Fduty deCmands it;
Strength for thy labor the G7Lord will proCvide;
Back Cto the narrow way Fpatiently Cwin them;
Tell the poor wanderer a G7Savior has Cdied.
Verse 4
Down Cin the human heart, Fcrushed by the Ctempter,
Feelings lie buried that G7grace can reCstore;
Touched Cby a loving heart, Fwakened by Ckindness,
Chords that were broken will G7vibrate once Cmore.
