No 37, Rescue the Perishing.
"Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that My house may be filled."—Luke xiv. 23. |

Though they are slighting Him, |
Touched by a loving hand, |
|
|
Still He is waiting, |
Wakened by kindness, |
|
|
Waiting the penitent child to receive. |
Chords that were broken will vibrate once more |
|
|
Plead with them earnestly, |
|
|
|
Plead with them gently; |
.4- |
|
|
He will forgive if they only believe. |
Rescue the perishing, |
|
|
|
Duty demands it; |
|
|
3- |
Strength for thy labour the Lord will provide: |
|
|
Down in the human heart, |
Back to the narrow way |
|
|
Crushed by the tempter, |
Patiently win them; |
|
|
Feelings lie buried that grace can restore: |
Tell the poor wanderer a Saviour has died |
|
