| Text: | The Great Physician |
| Author: | William Hunter, 1811-1877 |
| Tune: | [The great Physician now is near] |
| Composer: | John H. Stockton, 1813-1877 |
1 The great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
O 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 forgiven,
O hear the voice of Jesus;
Go on your way in peace to heaven
And wear a crown with Jesus. (Refrain)
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. (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)
