What a Friend We Have in Jesus

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!
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Oh, can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Oh, Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Are we weak and heavy-laden
Covered 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
Blessed Saviour Thou has promised
Thou will all our burdens bear
May we ever Lord, be brining
All to Thee an earnest prayer
Soon in glory bride unclouded
There will be no need for prayer
Praise an endless worship
Where we our sweet portion lay
