There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole;
there is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin sick soul.
Sometimes I feel discouraged and think my work's in vain,
then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again.
There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole;
there is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin sick soul.
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."
There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole;
there is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin sick soul.
Don't ever feel discouraged, for Jesus is your friend;
and if you lack for knowledge he'll ne'er refuse to lend.
There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole;
there is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin sick soul.
