The Great Physician now is near (revised)

lyricist: William Hunter
Composer: John Hart Stockton

The Great Physician now is near

The sympathizing Jesus;

Sin’s wounds

exhaustion disappear—

Draw quickly near to Jesus.

Jesus bore the cross for you

Your sins’ heavy burden

too;

Now He wants to heal you;

Quickly come to Jesus.

Your many sins are all forgiv’n

If you will come to Jesus!

When conscience smites

you’ll peace be giv’n

When you draw near to Jesus!

Corrupted nature

sin-stained heart

All find their cure in Jesus;

All weakness

sighs

disease depart

When you draw near to Jesus.

Man’s life is gloomy

painful

dry;

Why not draw near to Jesus?

The living water He’ll supply;

Oh

come draw near to Jesus!

Now healed and full released I am

For I’ve received Christ Jesus;

All glory to the smitten Lamb!

I now believe in Jesus.

Jesus’ bonds have set me free;

Jesus’ wounds have healed me;

Jesus’ death brought life to me;

Jesus! I have Jesus!

My gracious Savior’s name’s so dear;

The name I love is Jesus!

Dispelling misery

so near

No other name but Jesus!

Fragrant name—saints’ praises ring!

Honored name—the angels sing!

Name excelling

all-supreme:

Jesus! Precious Jesus!

When I’m that day to Him brought near

Brought face to face with Jesus

E’en more I’ll glorify and cheer:

O Jesus! Precious Jesus!
