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 praye r!

    Oh! What peace we often forfeit ! Oh, 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 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
