Christ a Physician. Matt. 9. 12; Mark. 2. 17

1 Jesus is a wise Physician,
  Skilful and exceeding kind;
  Through him sinners find remission,
  And enjoy sweet peace of mind.

2 Moved with tenderest compassion,
  He relieves the wounded heart;
  And the richest consolation
  His blest Spirit does impart.

3 This Physician understandeth
  All disorders of the soul;
  And no payment he demandeth,
  When he makes the wounded whole.

4 Come, ye souls, who now are sighing
  Under guilt’s distressing chains,
  To the Saviour now be flying;
  He will ease you of your pains.

5 What though bad is your condition,
  And your wounds you can’t endure?
  He, the sinner’s wise Physician,
  Will effect a perfect cure.
