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.
