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
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

What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in him
For he knows us and he holds us in his hands
And his grace is never failing
And his love without an end
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in him

Blessed Saviour, you have promised
You will all our burdens bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing
All to you in earnest prayer
Soon in glory bright, unclouded
There will be no need for prayer
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there
