Arr. William Dawson (1899-1990)
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.
If you cannot sing like angels,
if you cannot preach like Paul,
you can tell the love of Jesus,
and say, “He died for all.”
