Rescue the Perishing

Author: Frances J. Van Alstyne Appears in 805 hymnals First Line: Rescue the perishing, care for the dying Refrain First Line: Rescue the perishing, care for the dying Lyrics: 1 Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave; Weep o’er the erring one, lift up the fallen, Tell them of Jesus the mighty to save. Chorus: Rescue the perishing, care for the dying; Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save. 2 Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting, Waiting the penitent child to receive: Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently; He will forgive if they only believe. [Chorus] 3 Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter; Feelings lie buried that grace can restore; Touched by a loving hand, wakened by kindness, Chords that were broken will vibrate once more. [Chorus] 4 Rescue the perishing, duty demands it; Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide: Back to the narrow way patiently win them; Tell the poor wand’rer a Savior has died.

With Thy blessing filling Each who comes to Thee, Thou hast made us willing, Thou hast made us free, By Thy grand redemption, By Thy grace divine; We are on the Lord's side; Savior, we are Thine! 2 Not for weight of glory, Not for crown and palm, Enter we the army, Raise the warrior's psalm; But for love that claimeth, Lives for whom He died, He whom Jesus nameth Must be on His side. By Thy love constraining, By Thy grace divine, We are on the Lord's side; Savior, we are Thine! 3 Fierce may be the conflict, Strong may be the foe, But the King's own army None can over-throw. Round His standard ranging Vict'ry is secure: For His truth unchanging Makes the triumph sure. Joyfully enlisting, By Thy grace divine, We are on the Lord's side; Savior, we are Thine!

Brightest and Best

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 921 hymnals First Line: Brightest and best of the sons of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the east, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining, Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Savior of all. 3 Shall we not yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom, and off'rings divine, Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would His favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the east, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

Alas! and Did my Savior Bleed?

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 2,359 hymnals First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sov'reign die, Would He devote that sacred head For sinners such as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, And love beyond degree. 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut His glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died For man, the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.

As after the Waterbrooks Panteth

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig; C. Doving Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As after the waterbrooks panteth The hart, when it sinks in the chase, So thirsteth my soul, as it fainteth, For Thee, O my God, and Thy grace; For Thou art the fount ever living, Who unto the thirsty art giving The water of life that I need. 2 Why art thou disquiet within me? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? Confide in thy God, let Him win thee! Still hope in thy God, Him extol! For surely once dawneth a morrow, When, freed from thy care and thy sorrow, Thou praises shalt sing to thy God. 3 His light and His truth, they shall lead me In peace to His temple at last; I rest on His Word, He will speed me, And conflict and sorrow are past; Yea, joyful I anthems will raise Him, With heart and with voice will I praise Him-- My health and my life and my God.
