There is a balm in gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm in gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul

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

If you can preach like Peter
If you can prey like Paul
Go home and tel your loved ones
He died to save us all

There is a balm in gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm in gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul

To heal the sin-sick soul
