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!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O 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

who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness-

take it to the Lord in prayer.

 

Are we weak and heavy-laden,

burdened with a load of care?

Jesus is our mighty saviour:

He wil+l listen to our prayer.

Do your friends despise, forsake you?

take it to the Lord in prayer;

in His arms He sill enfold you

and his love will shield you there.
