The great Physician now is near

by William Hunter

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 254.

Verse 1

The great Physician now is near, The sympathizing Jesus; He speaks the drooping heart to cheer, Oh! 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
