What a Friend we have in Jesus
1
What a Friend we have in Jesus,All our sins and griefs to bear!What a privilege to carryEvery thing to God in prayer!O what peace we often forfeit,O what needless pain we bear,All because we do not carryEvery thing to God in prayer!
2
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.
3
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.
