Cantique : The Great Physician now is near (revised)

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!
