What A Friend We Have In Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus
 All our sins and grief 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 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
 Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
 Thou wilt all our burdens bear
 May we ever, Lord, be bringing
 All to Thee in earnest prayer
 Soon in glory bright, unclouded
 There will be no need for prayer
 Rapture, praise and endless worship
 Will be our sweet portion there
