"RESCUE THE PERISHING" Words by Fanny Crosby Music by William H. Doane The story of the writing of this song can best be told in Fanny Cros by’s own words, as reported in Story of Ninety-Four Years: “It was written in the year 1869. Many of my hymns were written after experiences in New York mis sion work. This one was thus writ ten. I was addressing a large com pany of working men one hot summer evening, when the thought kept forc ing itself on my mind that some mother’s boy must be rescued that night or not at all. So I made a press ing plea that if there was a boy pres ent who had wandered from his mother’s home and t each ing , he would come to me at the close of the service. A young man of eighteen came forward and said, ‘Did you mean me? I promised my mother to meet her in heaven, but as I am now living that will be impossible.’ We prayed for him and he finally arose with a new ligljLt in his eyes and exclaimed in triumph, ‘Now I can meet my mother in heaven, for I have found God!’ “A few days before, Mr. Doane had sent me a theme for a new song, Rescue the Perishing, and while I sat in the mission that evening the line came to me, Rescue the perish ing, care for the dying. I could think of nothing else that night. When I retired it was ready for the melody. The next day my song was written out and forwarded to Mr. Doane, who wrote the beautiful and touching music as it now stands.” The song was first published in 1870 in Doane’s Songs Of Devotion.
