480. There Is a Balm in Gilead

1 God is my strong salvation;
What foe have I to fear?
In peril and temptation
My light, my help, is near.

Refrain:
There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole,
There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul.

2 Place on the Lord reliance;
My soul, with courage wait;
God's truth be thine affiance,
When faint and desolate. [Refrain]

3 His might thy heart shall strengthen,
His love thy joy increase;
Mercy thy days shall lengthen;
The Lord will give thee peace. [Refrain]
