No. 127 Balm in Gilead, Rev 15
Pentatonic, mode 3 (I II III — V VI —)
How lost was my condition Till Jesus made me whole
There is but one Physician Can cure a sin-sick soul.
There’s a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole;
There’s pow’r enough in Jesus to cure a sin-sick soul.
I have reproduced the notation of the Revivalist tune with all its mistakes. A fuller text is given under ‘Good Physician’ in this collection. A negro version entitled ‘There is a Balm in Gilead’ is given in Dett, p. 88. Another is in Work, p. 43.
