1281. The great Physician now is near

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 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]

3 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]

4 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]
