564. There Is a Balm in Gilead

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.
There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole;
There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul. [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.
There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole;
There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul. [Refrain]
