诗歌： Rescue the perishing

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.

Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.

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.

Down in the human heart,
  Crushed by the tempter,
Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;
  Touched by a loving heart,
  Wakened by kindness,
Chords that are broken will vibrate once more.

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.

After praying earnestly for someone battling a life-threatening illness, I felt strongly led by the Holy Spirit. Yesterday, I received God's assurance of healing, and this morning He spoke to me again through a dream. As I woke up reflecting on it, the hymn "Care for the Perishing" came to my heart. Searching for the complete lyrics led me to this page. I'm grateful I found them here. Thank you for sharing.

After a midnight prayer, the Holy Spirit reminded me about the writer of this song, Fanny J. Crosby, that if a blind woman can be preaching the gospel, which excuse did I have.

It's a wake up call for me...... I bless God

I heard the whisper of this song in my heart, the chorus, and and felt it was the Holy Spirit leading me to something. I say so because the last time I heard this song was over three decades ago and I had to google to get the song.

It's weighty, people are dying, perishing - the young and middle aged especially.

It's a wake up call for me.

Thank you for the work you do. More grace.

I was introduce to this hymn by my teachers at a primary, mission school.

Without these schools we all wonder where we would be.

Without these hymns, we still wonder where we'd be.

Their basic duty as teachers and missionaries is to rescue the perishing

Praise the Lord oh my soul and forget not His Benefits

I first sang this song as a trainee in the full-time training in Taipei, Taiwan, 1986–1987. When we were coordinating with the Lord to do just that, rescue, and a big rescue of over 30, 000, I believe, saved, and baptized within two years. Thank you, Lord.

Today, residing in Southern California, all my life when the fires first hit, the wake up call to me, is not the celebrity homes burning, but to us Christians to rescue the current impacted, and to fulfill the longtime burden for us to be continually rescuing. Especially since the 40 year anniversary, 1984, the start of the God Ordained Way. Why we were in Taiwan, the lab, with our brother discovering and carrying out this way. Amen, Lord strengthen us all to continue to ‘go forth’ (Jn. 15) and ‘go, therefore’ (Mt. 28) and bear the fruit for the Father‘s glory.

Few hymns, ancient or modern, have been more useful, or more variously used than this little sermon and song from Luke 14:23 by the blind poet, Fanny J Crosby. It is sung not only in the church prayer meetings with its spiritual meaning and application, but in Salvation Army camps and marches, in school-mission devotions, and in social settlement services, in King‘s Daughters and Sons of Temperance meetings, and in the rallies of every reform organization that seeks the lost and fallen

The tune is by W. H. Doane composed in 1870.

I was introduced to this beautiful song when I was very young in the church that I attended. It meant so very much to me then, and here many years later this song mean even more as I live a surrendered life in Jesus Christ my Lord. To God be the Glory!

During those years, the fire of the gospel was indeed burning among us. However, we did not reach the stage of going out and compelling people. In Luke 14:23 the Lord Jesus told us that to go out and bring people in, we even need to go to the roads and hedges and compel people. According to the original Greek, to compel people means to force people. The Lord said, "Go out into the roads and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house may be filled." Our burden is to teach you how to compel others. The Lord Jesus spoke of our need to compel others.

In verse 23 the Lord said that we should compel people to come in. Then in verse 26 He said, "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate." These two matters spoken of in Luke 14 are quite harsh. First, we have to go out and compel people to believe in the Lord. Second, after they believe, they have to "hate." Seemingly, this is against what Christianity teaches about being kind, loving, and broad, but this is indeed the Lord's word. Not only do we have to hate our parents and our wife, we also have to hate our self. The teaching of the Lord Jesus' is quite particular. Hymns #664 in Chinese says, "Rise up quickly and preach the gospel!" But the Lord's word goes even further; He wants us to rise up quickly and compel people. The secret to preaching the gospel is to have a zealous heart, to be crazy. A person who is crazy does not care for himself. Forty years ago I was crazy whenever I preached the gospel. However, I was not crazy to the extent of compelling others. For this reason, I feel that I am still indebted to the gospel.

Our main impression concerning the Gospel of Luke is that it is a sweet gospel. It tells us that the Lord Jesus is a good shepherd who is full of compassion. In His tender love He looks for us, He embraces and bears us, and He brings us back to His flock (15:1-7). This Gospel also tells us that the Lord is a good Samaritan. We are wounded and on the verge of death, but He binds our wounds and pours oil and wine on them (10:25-35). However, we never saw the matter that the Lord Jesus wants us to go and compel others, nor did we see that the Lord wants us to hate.

Crucial Words of Leading in the Lord's Recovery, Book 5: Concerning Various Aspects of Church Service, chapter 10 (水流职事站)

In Adam we were sentenced by God to die, to perish in the lake of fire forever (Heb. 9:27; John 3:16b; Rev. 21:8). This is man's destiny. This is why we need to give up the world and spend our time to preach the gospel to rescue fallen man from the lake of fire. Fanny Crosby, a sister who lived in the last century, wrote many hymns. One of these hymns (Hymns, #921) is concerning rescuing the perishing sinners. The first stanza and chorus of this hymn say:

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.

Rescue the perishing,

Care for the dying;

Jesus is merciful,

Jesus will save.

We should be inspired by this matter. All the people on this earth are busy doing many things, but eventually they will perish. We need to have a heart to rescue the perishing, to care for the dying.
