#5 WE’VE A STORY TO TELL #6 RESCUE THE PERISHING

1. We’ve a story to tell to the nations,
That shall turn their hearts to the right,
A story of truth and mercy,
A story of peace and light,
A story of peace and light.
2. For the darkness shall turn to dawning,
And the dawning to noonday bright;
And Christ’s great kingdom shall come
on earth,
The kingdom of love and light.
3. We’ve a song to be sung to the nations,
That shall lift their hearts to the Lord,
A song that shall conquer evil
And shatter the spear and sword,
And shatter the spear and sword.
4. We’ve a message to give to the nations,
That the Lord who reigns up above
Has sent us His Son to save us,
And show us that God is love,
And show us that God is love.
5. We’ve a Savior to show to the nations,
Who the path of sorrow has trod,
That all of the world’s great peoples
Might come to the truth of God,
Might come to the truth of God.
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.
2. 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.
3. 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 were broken will vibrate
once more.
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.

SONGSHEET
#1 I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY
1. I love to tell the story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love;
I love to tell the story, because I know ’tis true,
It satisfies my longings as nothing else would do.
Refrain:
I love to tell the story,
’Twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love.
2. I love to tell the story, ’tis pleasant to repeat,
What seems each time I tell it more wonderfully
sweet;
I love to tell the story, for some have never heard
The message of salvation from God’s own holy Word.
3. I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest;
And when in scenes of glory I sing the new, new song,
’Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long.

#2 JESUS SAVES
1. We have heard the joyful sound:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Spread the tidings all around:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Bear the news to every land,
Climb the mountains, cross the waves;
Onward! ’tis our Lord’s command;
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
2. Waft it on the rolling tide:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Tell to sinners far and wide:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Sing, you islands of the sea;
Echo back, you ocean caves;
Earth shall keep her jubilee:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
3. Give the winds a mighty voice:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Let the nations now rejoice:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Shout salvation full and free;
Highest hills and deepest caves;
This our song of victory:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
#3 SET MY SOUL A FIRE LORD
1. Set my soul afire Lord, for Thy Holy
Word, Burn it deep within me, let Thy
voice be heard
Millions grope in darkness in this day
and hour, I will be a witness, fill me
with Thy pow'r
2. Set my soul afire Lord, set my soul afire.
Make my life a witness of Thy saving
pow'r. Millions grope in darkness,
waiting for Thy Word. Set my soul afire,
Lord, set my soul afire!
3. Set my soul afire, Lord, for the lost in
sin, Give to me a passion as I seek to
win; Help me not to falter never let me
fail, Fill me with Thy Spirit, let Thy will
prevail.
4. Set my soul afire, Lord, in my daily life.
Far too long I've wandered in this day of
strife; Nothing else will matter but to
live for Thee, I will be a witness for
Christ lives in me.
#4 TO THE REGIONS BEYOND
1. To the regions beyond I must go, I must go
Where the story has never been told;
To the millions that never have heard of
His love,
I must tell the sweet story of old.
2. To the regions beyond I must go, I must go,
Till the world, all the world,
His salvation shall know.
3. To the hardest of places He calls me to go,
Never thinking of comfort or ease;
The world may pronounce me a dreamer, a
fool,
Enough if the Master I please.
4. Oh, you that are spending your leisure and
powers
In those pleasures so foolish and fond;
Awake from your selfishness, folly and sin,
And go to the regions beyond.
5. There are other “lost sheep” that the Master
must bring,
And to them must the message be told;
He sends me to gather them out of all lands,
And welcome them back to His fold.
