Rescue The Perishing

Rescue The Perishing is a song from the poem penned by fanny crosby in 1869. one night when fanny was addressing a large company of working men, the thought kept forcing herself on her mind that some mother's boy must be rescued that night. so she made a pressing plea that if there was a boy present who had wandered from his mother's home, he should come to her and the end of the service. a young man came forward and said, "did you mean me? i did promised my mother to meet her in heaven, but as i am still living that is impossible." they prayed together and he aroused with light in his eyes and shouted, "i can meet my mother in heaven! i just found God!". before retiring to bed, fanny penned the "rescue the perishing". poem became a hymn when william howard doane wrote its music on 1870. rendered anew by billy and cindy foote, with their original contemporary tune.
