254. The Great Physician Now Is Near

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

                 E7  A
The sympathizing Je- sus;

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

                    E7  A
O hear the voice of Je- sus.

A                D      A
Sweetest note in seraph song,

                 D      A
Sweetest name on mortal tongue;

A            E  A
Sweetest car-ol ever sung,

               E7  A
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
