To the Rescue

Author: Mrs. C. H. M. Hymnal: The Old Story in Song #50 (1906) First Line: To the rescue! to the rescue Refrain First Line: Farther and farther away Lyrics: 1 To the rescue! to the rescue! Souls are drifting with the tide; Onward tow’rd the rocks before them With the currents swift they glide. Refrain: Farther and farther away! Farther and farther away! With the current drifting by, To the rescue quickly fly, God will help us if we try, Help to save some one to-day. 2 Who will tell of this salvation, Blessed lifeboat close at hand, Ere their bark are wreck’d and scatter’d Far and near upon the strand? [Refrain] 3 Some are conscious of their danger And for succor loudly cry; Cut the shore-lines, hasten to them Ere in sin they sink and die. [Refrain] 4 Human wrecks are all about us, Victims of the tempter’s pow’r; O the joy beyond all telling Could we rescue one this hour! [Refrain] Tune Title: [To the rescue! to the rescue]
