Jesus is a wise Physician,
Skilful and exceeding kind;
Through him sinners find remission,
And enjoy sweet peace of mind.Moved with tenderest compassion,
He relieves the wounded heart;
And the richest consolation
His blest Spirit does impart.This Physician understandeth
All disorders of the soul;
And no payment he demandeth,
When he makes the wounded whole.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.What though bad is your condition,
And your wounds you can’t endure?
He, the sinner’s wise Physician,
Will effect a perfect cure.—Richard Burnham (1749–1810)
