Christ, the Great Physician by Joshua A. Roberts — Lyrics
1. The blessed Christ of God I see,
In that fair land of Galilee,
He speaks in loving words to me,
"I am the Great Physician."
Refrain:
Glory to God! He saves the soul,
Maketh the suff'ring body whole;
Thus at His feet my burdens roll,
Healed by the Great Physician.
2. With all my heart I do believe,
I dare not doubt, His Spirit grieve;
Each suff'ring one He will relieve

About Christ, the Great Physician
This SATB hymn setting, Christ the Great Physician, offers a message of healing and spiritual restoration. The text, in English, draws directly from the Gospels, portraying Christ's compassion and power to make the suffering body and soul whole. Its language is direct and heartfelt, suitable for services focusing on healing, or times of communal need. The refrain, 'Glory to God! He saves the soul, Maketh the suff'ring body whole', provides a powerful, memorable affirmation of faith. This piece would be an effective choice for a church choir looking for a textually rich and harmonically satisfying hymn arrangement that speaks to the comforting and redemptive power of Christ.
