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.
--- Instrumental ---
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...
