Balm in Gilead

African American spiritual-
R. N. Dett, "Religious Folk-Songs of the Negro," 1927, p. 88, with score . Also in "Songs of Zion," etc.
Although sung (and recorded) by the Fisk Jubilee Singers, the song is not included in my copy of "The Songs of the Jubilee Singers," but it is in Dett's book (Hampton Institute); the Fisk Institute is credited for some 25 of the songs in the book.

3rd verse- cannot preach; cannot pray; a mistake in the Silbers' Folksinger's Wordbook.
