Triumphant Songs No.3 ‎#22

22. Rescue Them

1 Rescue them! rescue the souls that are perishing,
Lingering just on the verge of despair;
Hope of salvation their fond hearts are cherishing,
Suffer them not to be perishing there.

Refrain:
Rescue them! rescue them! rescue the perishing,
Hear how in pity salvation they crave;
Go in the name of the Savior who died for them,
Rescue the lost, and the perishing save.

2 Rescue them! rescue the souls that are wandering,
Far from the fold of the Shepherd astray,
While from his love their affections are sundering;
Rescue these wand’rers for Jesus today. [Refrain]

3 Rescue them! rescue the souls that are sorrowing,
Sorrowing, sighing because of their sin;
Over their pathway the wrath-clouds are lowering,
Into God’s kingdom, oh! gather them in. [Refrain]
