254. The Great Physician Now Is Near

E               B    E
The great Physi-cian now is near,

                 B7  E
The sympathizing Je- sus;

E                   B   E
He speaks the droop-ing heart to cheer,

                    B7  E
O hear the voice of Je- sus.

E                A      E
Sweetest note in seraph song,

                 A      E
Sweetest name on mortal tongue;

E            B  E
Sweetest car-ol ever sung,

               B7  E
Jesus, blessed Je- sus.



[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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.

[Verse 2]
All glory to the dying Lamb!
I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Savior’s name,
I love the name of Jesus.

[Verse 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.

[Verse 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
