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 preach 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. [Refrain]
