E105. The Great Physician Now is Near

1 The great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
Oh! hear the voice of Jesus.

Chorus:
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. [Chorus]

3 His Name dispels my guilt and fear,
No other name but Jesus:
Oh! how my soul delights to hear
The precious Name of Jesus. [Chorus]

4 And when to that bright world above
We rise to see our Jesus,
We'll sing around the throne of love,
His Name, the Name of Jesus. [Chorus]
