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 deep I feel the pain
In prayers 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't pray like Peter
If you can't be like Paul
Go home and tell your neighbour
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 wounded soul
