676 The Christian Life

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. 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
