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;

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 weak and heavy -laden,

Cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior 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 will find a solace there.
