What a Friend We Have In Jesus

(Joseph Scrivens - Charles Converse - Sid Feller)
 What a friend we have in Jesus
 All our sins and grieves to bear
 What a privilege to carry everything
 To God in prayer.
 Oh, what peace we often forfeit
 Of what needless pain we bear
 All because we do not carry
 Everything to God in prayer.
 Have we trials and temptation
 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 sorrow 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 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.
 Thou wilt find a solace there...
