Great Physician, Friend, Savior, King. Thank You because You speak the drooping heart to cheer, thank You because You see the diseases in my family, thank You because this You're in the middle of this storm, thank You for direction, thank You because my job shall come, thank You because the bond of depression shall be broken. Thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You.

The Lord just ministered to me with this song. The verse ‘speak the drooping heart to cheer’ just lifted the heaviness trying to fasten itself on my heart. Thank You darling Jesus.

I heard the words The Great Physician and the verse us there no balm in Gilead at least two weeks before I got diagnosed with having the dengue virus. It was scary 😱 learning that my blood count had dropped from 12 to 9 and I thought maybe am going to die.

But the Holy Spirit brought back the song and verse to me and then I was comforted knowing that the Lord himself prepared me for the time if brief sickness.

How I praise my Great Physician Jesus Christ the Son of God.

A strange illness came upon my son right on the hospital bed while worshiping God this song came up into my spirit and I knew my son will not die because Jesus has taking over the war and I also had peace in me.

Thank You Lord for Your mercies it was Your mercies that sew me through and also restored my son back to me.

My wife was lying on hospital bed awaiting to be wheeled into the theater, then the Holy Spirit dropped this song in my heart. So I know it an encouragement that God is interested in my matter. Glory be to God.

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!
