Hymnal: The Worshipbook #600 (1972) First Line: Sometimes I feel discouraged 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.
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 feel discouraged,
For Jesus is your friend,
And if you lack for knowledge,
He'll not 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] Topics: Sacraments Lord's Supper; Christian Year Lent; Other Observances Ecumenism; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances World Peace Scripture: Jeremiah 8:22 Tune Title: [Sometimes I feel discouraged]
