Hymnal: The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) #489 (2001) First Line: Sometimes I feel discouraged Refrain First Line: There is a balm in Gilead Lyrics: 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 feel discouraged,
For Jesus is your friend,
And if you look for knowledge,
He’ll ne'er refuse to lend. [Refrain]
3 If you can't preach like Peter,
If you can't pray like Paul,
Just tell the love of Jesus,
And say He died for all. [Refrain] Topics: Spirituals Languages: English Tune Title: BALM IN GILEAD
