The Great Physician
Here is the lyrics for 'The Great Physician'. I wasn't familiar with this church hymn until a reader emailed me for it. You might remember it as 'the sympathizing Jesus' which is part of the first sentence in the first stanza of this Christian song. The words of this hymn was written by William Hunter and the refrain by Richard Kempenfelt. The music of this Christian song was composed by John Hart Stockton - 1813-1877, the same who wrote the words and music for one of my favorite hymns, Trust in Him.
