The great Physician now is near

8.7.8.7.Ref.
1 The great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
Oh! hear the voice of Jesus.
Sweetest note in seraph song,
Sweetest Name on mortal tongue;
Sweetest carol ever sung,
Jesus, blessed Jesus.
2 Your many sins are all forgiven,
Oh! hear the voice of Jesus;
Go on your way in peace to heav’n,
And wear a crown with Jesus.
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.
4 His Name dispels my guilt and fear,
No other name but Jesus;
Oh! how my soul delights to hear
The precious Name of Jesus.
5 Come, brethren, help me sing His praise,
Oh, praise the Name of Jesus;
Come, sisters, all your voices raise,
Oh, bless the Name of Jesus.
6 The children, too, both great and small,
Who love the Name of Jesus,
May now accept the gracious call
To work and live for Jesus.
7 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.
