Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS: The Great Physician now is near

Lo, I am with you always. Matt.28:20

1.  The Great Physician now is near,
    The sympathizing Jesus;
    He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
    Oh, hear the voice of Jesus!

Chorus:
    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 heaven,
    And wear a crown with Jesus.

3. All glory to the risen 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 the bright world above
    We rise to see our Jesus,
    We'll sing around the throne of love
    His name, the name of Jesus.

Amen.
