What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Author: Joseph Scriven Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,689 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 21:22 Lyrics: 1 What a Friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Ev'rything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Ev'rything 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 ev'ry 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. Amen. Topics: Prayer Used With Tune: FRIEND

Alleluia, we in worship join with them. 4 Paschal Lamb, thine offering, finished once for all when thou wast slain, in its fullness undiminished shall forevermore remain, alleluia, Cleansing us from every stain. 5 Life-imparting heavenly Manna, stricken Rock with streaming side, heaven and earth with loud hosanna worship thee, the Lamb who died, alleluia, risen, ascended, glorified!
