[Matthew 28:19-20 KJV] “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
The hymn “Rescue the Perishing” was written by Fanny Crosby in 1869. It is a powerful call to action for Christians to reach out to those who are lost and dying in their sin. The lyrics of the hymn are full of urgency and passion, and they challenge us to never give up on anyone who is still searching for hope.
The first verse of the hymn asks us to “rescue the perishing, care for the dying.” This is a reminder that there are people all around us who are in need of our help. They may be lost in sin, or they may be struggling with addiction, poverty, or other challenges. We have a responsibility to reach out to these people and show them the love of Christ.
The second verse of the hymn tells us to “weep o’er the erring one, lift up the fallen.” This is a call for us to have compassion for those who are struggling. We need to be willing to listen to their stories and to offer them hope and encouragement. We also need to be willing to forgive them for their mistakes and to help them get back on their feet.
The third verse of the hymn tells us to “tell them of Jesus the mighty to save.” This is the most important message of all. We need to share the gospel with everyone we meet. We need to tell them about Jesus’ love and forgiveness, and we need to invite them to come to him for salvation.
The hymn “Rescue the Perishing” is a powerful reminder of our calling as Christians. We are called to reach out to those who are lost and dying in their sin.
