Hymnal: Worship (3rd ed.) #608 (1986) Meter: Irregular First Line: Sometimes I feel discouraged Lyrics: 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 Don't ever feel discouraged,
For Jesus is your friend;
And if you lack for knowledge
He'll ne'er refuse to lend.
There is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole,
There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul. Topics: Funeral; Pastoral Care of the Sick; Penance; Comfort; Compassion; Courage; Friendship; Healing; Jesus Christ; Love of God for Us; Mercy; Paschal Mystery; Rest; Trust Scripture: Jeremiah 8:22 Languages: English Tune Title: BALM IN GILEAD
