Christ, as our great physician, heals
Our maladies within;
Relieves the pangs the conscience feels,
From recollected sin.
He sees our many pressing wants
With a propitious eye;
And from his own abundance grants
A free and rich supply.
He sympathises with our grief;
He lends a gracious ear
To all our groans; and gives relief,
Whate'er we feel or fear.
'Tis he subdues our numerous foes,
And blasts their vile intent;
And he will always interpose
Our ruin to prevent.
He manages our mean affairs,
From his high throne above;
And soothes our sorrows and our cares
With his endearing love.
My soul, with sacred rapture, saith,
When Jesus is in view,
This is the object of my faith.
And this its author too.
Angels his name with joy confess,
And low before him fall;
Then what can sinners here do less.
Than own him all in all?
