The Great Physician Lyrics

The great Physician now is near, the sympathizing Jesus
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer, oh hear the voice of Jesus
All glory to the dying Lamb, I now believe in Jesus
I love the blessed Savior's name, I love the name of Jesus

[Chorus]
Sweetest note in seraph song (note, seraph song)
Sweetest name on mortal tongue (name, mortal tongue)
Sweetest carol ever sung
Jesus, blessed Jesus


His Name dispels my guilt and fear, no other name but Jesus
Oh how my soul delights to hear the charming Name of Jesus

Repeat Chorus

Sweet is the song, sweet is the song, sweet is the song, blessed name of Jesus (sweet song, sweet song)
Sweet is the song, sweet is the song, sweet is the song, blessed name of Jesus (sweet song, sweet song)

Repeat Chorus

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
The great Physician now is near, the sympathizing Jesus
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer, oh hear the voice of Jesus

Repeat Chorus (x3)

Sweetest carol ever sung
Jesus, blessed Jesus
Sweetest carol ever sung
Jesus, blessed Jesus
