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
Can we find a friend so faithful
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Listen to me a minute
Are we weak and heavy laden?
Are we cumbered with a load, a load of care?
Well, the precious Savior is still our refuge
Let's take it to the Lord in prayer
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer
In His arms He'll take and shield you
You will find a solace there
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
