What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear;
And what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, 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!
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!
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
In His arms He'll take and shield thee
Thou wilt find a solace there.
Oh! Thank you Lord, you're my solace
Jesus! O what a friend we have in Jesus
Oh Jesus! O what a friend we have in Jesus
Thank you Lord!
O Jesus what a friend we have in Jesus
O Jesus what a friend we have in Jesus
O Jesus what a friend we have in Jesus.
