There’s Balm in Gilead Still ― Don Fortner
(Tune: #33―Stand
Up and Bless the Lord ―SM )
1. When sorrows waste this frame, and breaks my heart
with pain,
Through stormy seas and raging flames,
the help of man proves vain.
2. Then flee, my soul, for grace, and help in time of
need,
To Christ the Lord, and seek His face. He
is a Friend indeed.
3. There’s balm in
A balm my wounded heart to heal. ‘Tis
found in Jesus’ blood.
4. The Christ Who died for me is God upon His throne.
He knows and does what’s best for me. So
let His will be done.
5. God’s word I know is true, this is my hope and peace,
“
6. For when He hides His face, and darkness intervenes,
It is to make me trust His grace and find
my strength in Him.
7. Christ Jesus, blessed Friend, Physician, tender Nurse,
To make my bed now
condescend, and take away my hurt.
