Gb              Db   Gb
The great Physi-cian now is near,

                 Db7 Gb
The sympathizing Je- sus;

Gb                  Db  Gb
He speaks the droop-ing heart to cheer,

                    Db7 Gb
O hear the voice of Je- sus.

Gb               B      Gb
Sweetest note in seraph song,

                 B      F#
Sweetest name on mortal tongue;

Gb           Db Gb
Sweetest car-ol ever sung,

               Db7 Gb
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
