There Is a Balm in Gilead

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.

O Christ, the Healer

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: Care of the Sick; Rites of the Church Rite of Anointing (Care of the Sick) Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the healer, We have come To pray for health, to plead for friends. How can we fail to be restored, When reached by love that never ends? 2 From ev'ry ailment flesh endures Our bodies clamor to be freed; Yet in our hearts we would confess That wholeness is our deepest need. 3 How strong, O Lord, are our desires, How weak our knowledge of ourselves! Release in us those healing truths Unconscious pride resists or shelves. 4 In conflicts that destroy our health We recognize the world's disease; Our common life declares our ills: Is there no cure, O Christ, for these? 5 Grant that we all, made one in faith, In your community may find The wholeness that, enriching us, Shall reach the whole of humankind.
