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.

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.
