150. The Great Physician

1 The great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
O hear the voice of Jesus.

Refrain:
"Sweetest note in seraph song,
Sweetest name on mortal tongue,
Sweetest carol ever sung,
Jesus, blessed Jesus."

2 Your many sins are all forgiv'n,
O hear the voice of Jesus;
Go on your way in peace to heav'n,
And wear a crown with Jesus. [Refrain]

3 All glory to the dying Lamb!
I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Savior's name,
I love the name of Jesus. [Refrain]

4 His name dispels my guilt and fear,
No other name but Jesus;
O how my soul delights to hear,
The precious name of Jesus. [Refrain]

5 And when to that bright world above,
We rise to see our Jesus;
We'll sing around the throne of love
His name, the name of Jesus. [Refrain]
