A Collection of Evangelical Hymns ‎#XIX

XIX. Physician

1 Deep are the wounds which sin hath made
Where shall the sinner find a cure?
In vain, alas, is nature's aid,
The work exceeds all nature's power.

2 Sin, like a raging fever reigns,
With fatal strength in every part;
The dire contagion fills the veins,
And spreads its poison to the heart.

3 And can no sovereign balm be found?
And is no kind physician nigh
To ease the pain, and heal the wound,
Ere life and hope for ever fly?

4 There is a great physician near,
Look up, O fainting soul, and live;
See, in his heavenly smiles appear
Such ease as nature cannot give!

5 See in the Saviour's dying blood
Life, health, and bliss, abundant flow!
'Tis only this dear sacred flood
Can ease thy pain and heal thy woe.
