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
