The Great Physician now is near

The Great Physician now is near,
  The sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
  Oh, hear the voice of Jesus!
 
Sweetest note in seraph song;
Sweetest name on mortal tongue;
Sweetest carol ever sung:
    Jesus, blessed Jesus!
2
Your many sins are all forgiv’n,
  Oh, hear the voice of Jesus;
The veil ’twixt you and God is riven,
  Redemption wrought by Jesus.
3
All glory to the dying Lamb!
  I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Savior’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!

I surely need this song like never before in my life. God take the lead and heal me from every disease of the Egyptians.

Revised version:

1. 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.

2. 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!

3. Corrupted nature, sin-stained heart,

All find their cure in Jesus;

All weakness, sighs, disease depart,

When you draw near to Jesus.

4. 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!

5. 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!

6. 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!

7. 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!
