49 This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise And shout, while passing through the air, The Great Physician. "Is there no balm in Gilead? is there no physician there?"-JER. viii. 22. Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 49. THE great Physician now is near, He speaks the drooping heart to cheer; Sweetest note in seraph song, Jesus, blessed Jesus. 2 Your many sins are all forgiven; 3 All glory to the risen Lamb! I love the blessed Saviour's name, 4 His name dispels my guilt and fear, 5 Come, brethren, help me sing His praise, 6 The children too, both great and small, May now accept the gracious call 50 51 I 7 And when to that bright world above We'll sing around the throne of love The Valley of Blessing. “Thou hast put gladness in my heart.”—PSALM iv. 7. Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 50. HAVE entered the valley of blessing so sweet, And His Spirit and blood make my cleansing complete Oh, come to this valley of blessing so sweet, Where Jesus will fulness bestow; And believe, and receive, and confess Him, 2 There is peace in the valley of blessing so sweet, And there's rest for the weary, worn traveller's feet, 3 There is love in the valley of blessing so sweet, 4 There's a song in the valley of blessing so sweet, As with rapturous praises we bow at His feet, I Love to Sell the Story. 52 I love to tell the Story, Because I know it's true; It satisfies my longings, As nothing else would do. I love to tell the Story; 'Twill be my theme in glory, 2 I love to tell the Story: More wonderful it seems 3 I love to tell the Story; I love to tell the Story; For some have never heard From God's own Holy Word. 4 I love to tell the Story; For those who know it best Almost Persuaded. "Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian."—Acts xxvi 28. "ALMOST persuaded," now to believe; 53 2 Seems now some soul to say?— "Almost persuaded," come, come to-day; Prayers rise from hearts so dear, 3 "Almost persuaded," harvest is past! "Almost" is but to fail; All to Christ J Owe. "Who His own self bare our sins.". -I PETER ii. 24. I Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 53. HEAR the Saviour say, "Thy strength indeed is small; Child of weakness, watch and pray, Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe ; Sin had left a crimson stain; He washed it white as snow. 2 Lord, now indeed I find Thy blood, and Thine alone, 3 For nothing good have I In the blood of Calvary's Lamb. 54 4 When from my dying bed 5 My ransomed soul shall rise, Shall rend the vaulted skies. I am Coming to the Cross. "Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out."-JOHN vi. 37. Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 54.
