What a Friend We Have in Jesus lyrics

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
