Description

The number of poems, hymns, and gospel songs Fanny J. Crosby wrote is breathtaking. This hymn, Rescue the Perishing, is one of her finest. From her work with those who were down and out in the Bowery of New York City, came the inspiration for this hymn. Lives were changed when they were committed to Christ through the work of the rescue missions. And, though blind, Fanny was able to "see" many lives rescued by Jesus.
