145. The Great Physician

1 The great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
Oh, 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,
Oh, 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 And when to that bright world above
We rise to be with Jesus,
We'll sing around the throne of love,
His name, the name of Jesus. [Refrain]
