  1. 1The great Physician now is near,The sympathizing Jesus;He speaks the drooping heart to cheer:O hear the voice of Jesus.Sweetest note in seraph song,Sweetest name on mortal tongue,Sweetest carol ever sung,Jesus, blessed Jesus.
  2. 2Your many sins are all forgiv’n,Oh, hear the voice of Jesus;Go on your way in peace to heav’n,And wear a crown with Jesus.Sweetest note in seraph song,Sweetest name on mortal tongue,Sweetest carol ever sung,Jesus, blessed Jesus.
  3. 3All glory to the dying Lamb!I now believe in Jesus;I love the blessed Savior’s name,I love the name of Jesus.Sweetest note in seraph song,Sweetest name on mortal tongue,Sweetest carol ever sung,Jesus, blessed Jesus.
  4. 4The children too, both great and small,Who love the name of Jesus,May now accept the gracious callTo work and live for Jesus.Sweetest note in seraph song,Sweetest name on mortal tongue,Sweetest carol ever sung,Jesus, blessed Jesus.
  5. 5Come, brethren, help me sing His praiseOh, praise the name of Jesus;Come, sisters, all your voices raise,Oh, bless the name of Jesus.Sweetest note in seraph song,Sweetest name on mortal tongue,Sweetest carol ever sung,Jesus, blessed Jesus.
  6. 6His name dispels my guilt and fear,No other name but Jesus;O how my soul delights to hearThe charming name of Jesus.Sweetest note in seraph song,Sweetest name on mortal tongue,Sweetest carol ever sung,Jesus, blessed Jesus.
  7. 7And when to that bright world aboveWe rise to see our Jesus;We’ll sing around the throne of loveHis name, the name of Jesus.Sweetest note in seraph song,Sweetest name on mortal tongue,Sweetest carol ever sung,Jesus, blessed Jesus.
