Hymnal: Songs of Zion #123 (1981) Hymnal Title: Songs of Zion 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.
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 cannot preach like Peter,
If you cannot pray like Paul,
you can tell the love of Jesus,
And say, “He died for all.” [Refrain]
