Verse 1
The Great Physician now is near, The sympathizing Jesus; He speaks, the drooping heart to cheer, O 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.
Refrain
Sweetest note in seraph song, Sweetest name on mortal tongue, Sweetest carol ever sung; Jesus, blessed 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!
Refrain
Sweetest note in seraph song, Sweetest name on mortal tongue, Sweetest carol ever sung; Jesus, blessed 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.
Refrain
Sweetest note in seraph song, Sweetest name on mortal tongue, Sweetest carol ever sung; Jesus, blessed Jesus!
