What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Author: Joseph Scriven Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,705 hymnals Scripture: John 15:7-15 Lyrics: 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. Amen. Used With Tune: WHAT A FRIEND

O for a closer walk with God

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,372 hymnals Scripture: John 15:7-11 Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God, a calm and heavenly frame, a light to shine upon the road that leads me to the Lamb. 2 Where is the blessedness I knew when first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view of Jesus and his word? 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed, how sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void the world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy dove, return, sweet messenger of rest! I hate the sins that made thee mourn, and drove thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, whate'er that idol be, help me to tear it from thy throne and worship only thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, calm and serene my frame; so purer light shall mark the road that leads me to the Lamb.

He loved me ere I knew Him; He drew me with the cords of love, And thus He bound me to Him. And 'round my heart still closely twine Those ties which naught can sever, For I am His, and He is mine, Forever and forever. 2 I've found a Friend, O such a Friend! He bled, He died to save me; And not alone the gift of life, But His own self He gave me. Naught that I have mine own I call, I'll hold it for the Giver; My heart, my strength, my life, my all Are His, and His forever. 3 I've found a Friend, O such a Friend! So kind and true and tender, So wise a Counselor and Guide, So mighty a Defender! From Him, who loves me now so well, What power my soul can sever? Shall life or death, shall earth or hell? No! I am His forever. Used With Tune: FRIEND
