| Text: | The great Physician now is near |
| Author: | William Hunter |
| Tune: | THE GREAT PHYSICIAN |
| Arranger: | J. H. Stockton |
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]
