Tune:BALM IN GILEAD

747. 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. [Refrain]

2 Don’t ever be discouraged,
for Jesus is your friend,
who, if you lack for knowledge,
will never fail to lend. [Refrain]

3 If you cannot preach like Peter,
if you cannot pray like Paul,
you can tell the love of Jesus,
who died to save us all. [Refrain]
