What A Friend We Have In Jesus

What A Friend We Have In Jesus,

All Ours Sins And Griefs To Bear,

What A Privilege To Carry

Everything To God In Prayer!

O What Peace We Often Forfeit,

O What Needless Pain We Bear,

All Because We Do Not Carry

Everything To God In Prayer!

 

Have We Trials And Temptations?

Is There Trouble Anywhere?

We Should Never Be Discouraged;

Take It To The Lord In Prayer.

Can We Find A Friend So Faithful

Who Will All Our Sorrows Share?

Jesus Knows Our Every Weakness;

Take It To The Lord In Prayer.

 

Are We Weak And Heavy Laden,

Cumbered With A Load Of Care?

Precious Saviour Still Our Refuge;

Take It To The Lord In Prayer.

Do Thy Friends Despise Forsake Thee?

Take It To The Lord In Prayer!

In His Arms He’ll Take And Shield Thee;

Thou Wilt Find A Solace There.
