Author: Joseph Medlicott Scriven Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,758 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Faithfulness; Jesus Christ Love of; Jesus Christ Person; Jesus Christ Presence; Jesus Christ Refuge; Jesus Christ Saviour; Jesus Christ Strength and Refuge 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?
Christ the Saviour is our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do our friends despise, forsake us?
Are we tempted to despair?
Jesus' strength will shield our weakness,
and we'll find new courage there. Used With Tune: FRIENDSHIP

wipe sorrow's tears away;
nor let me ever stray
from thee aside.

my zeal inspire.
As thou hast died for me,

pure, warm, and changeless be,
