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

Have we trials and tribulations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged

Just take it to the Lord 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

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?

Take it to the Lord in prayer

In His arms He'll take and shield thee

Thou will find a solace there

What a friend we have in Jesus

All our sins and griefs to bear

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God 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

Jesus knows our every weakness

Take it to the Lord in prayer
