What a Friend We Have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus

All our sins and greifs to bear

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in pray'r.



O what peace we often forfeit

O what needless pain we bear

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in pray'r.



Have we trials and temptations

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discourag'd

Take it to the Lord in pray'r.



Can we find a friend so faithful

Who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness

Take it to the Lord in pray'r.



Are we weak and heavy laden

Cumber'd with a load of care?

Precious Saviour, still our refuge

Take it to the Lord in pray'r.



Do your friends despise, forsake thee?

Take it to the Lord in pray'r

In His arms He'll take and sheild thee

Thou wilt find a solace there...
