What a Friend we have in JESUS





What a Friend we have in JESUS

1
What a Friend we have in JESUS,
  All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
  Everything to GOD in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
  O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
  Everything to GOD in prayer!

2
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.

3
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.
