What A Friend We Have In Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus

All our sins and griefs to bear

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer.



Oh, what peace we often forfeit?

Oh, 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.



Oh, 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.



Oh, take it to the Lord in prayer...
