What A Friend We Have In Jesus
Verse 1
What a Friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear; What a privilege to carry Ev'rything to God in prayer. Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear - All because we do not carry Ev'rything to God in prayer.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
