Refrain:
There is a balm in Gilead
to make the wounded whole.
There is a balm in Gilead
to heal the sinsick 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,
who, if you ask 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)
