Hymnal: Folk Songs of the American Negro (No. 1) #31 (1907) 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 fee discouraged,
For Jesus is your friend,
And if you lack 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] Languages: English Tune Title: [Sometimes I feel discouraged]
