What a friend we have in Jesus Lyrics:

What a friend we have in Jesus, 

All our sins and grieves 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.
