156. To the Rescue

1 A foe is abroad, like a tyrant he reigns
And his captives are groaning in fetters and chains.

Refrain:
To the rescue, let us hasten; to the rescue,— away!
To the rescue of the fallen, O hasten today.

2 With faith in the Lord and the pow'r of His might,
Let the armies of temp'rance their forces unite. [Refrain]

3 Go tell of God's love, and the demon shall fall;
Go tell them of Jesus, the Saviour of all. [Refrain]

4 Go seek out the lost in their bondage of sin,
There's hope for the fallen, go gather them in. [Refrain]
