What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Author: Jospeh M. Scriven, 1819-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,705 hymnals Topics: Trust in Jesus Christ 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! O what peace we often forfeit, O 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. Scripture: Psalm 38:12 Used With Tune: CONVERSE
