What A Friend We Have in Jesus

Verse 1
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
Verse 2
Have we trials and temptations
Is there trouble anywhere
Jesus Savior is our Refuge
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Are we weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Verse 3
Blessed Savior You have promised
All our burdens You will bear
May we ever Lord be bringing
All to you in earnest prayer
Soon in glory bright unclouded
Face to face will be our prayer
Joyful praise and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there
Refrain
Oh what a friend
Oh what a friend in Jesus
