Christ in Song ‎#94

94. 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!

Chorus:
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. [Chorus]

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

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! [Chorus]

5 And when he comes to bring the crown,
The crown of life and glory;
Then by his side we will sit down,
And tell redemption's story. [Chorus]
