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 Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness Take it to the Lord in prayer Are we weak and heavy-laden? Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge 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
