Refrain:
There is a balm in Gilead
to make the wounded whole,
there is a balm in Gilead
to heal the sin-sick soul.
1 Sometimes I feel discouraged
and think my work's in vain,
but then the Holy Spirit
revives my soul again. Refrain
2 If you cannot preach like Peter,
if you cannot pray like Paul,
you can tell the love of Jesus
and say, ""He died for all."" Refrain
3 Don't ever be discouraged,
for Jesus is your friend;
and if you lack for knowledge,
he'll ne'er refuse to lend.
