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.

There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole,
there is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul.

2. 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."

There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole,
there is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul.

3. To heal my pain and suffering, God sent his only son,
and now with his assurance, relief is surely won.

There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole,
there is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul.
