my shield and hiding-place;
my never-failing treasury, filled
with boundless stores of grace!
4 Jesus, my shepherd, guardian, friend,
my prophet, priest and king,
my Lord, my life, my way, my end —
accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
and cold my warmest thought;
but when I see you as you are,
I'll praise you as I ought.
6 Till then I would your love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of your name
refresh my soul in death. Used With Tune: RACHEL

What a friend we have in Jesus
Author: J. M. Scriven (1819-1886) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,692 hymnals Topics: Christ the Friend of Sinners Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus,

what a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!

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,
burdened with a load of care?
Jesus is our mighty saviour:
he will listen to our prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
take it to the Lord in prayer;
in his arms he will enfold you
and his love will shield you there. Used With Tune: BLAENWERN
