Christ a Physician. Matt. 9. 12; Mark. 2. 17
R. Burnham 8.7.
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.
