What A Friend We Have In Jesus Lyrics

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilage to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry

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,

Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, 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 arm
In his arms he'll take and shield thee
Thou wilt find a solace there
Oh thank you lord
You're my solace
Jesus,
Oh what a friend we have in Jesus
Sing it out, Jesus
Oh Jesus
Oh what a friend we have in Jesus
Oh Jesus
Oh what a friend we have in Jesus
Oh Jesus
Oh what a friend we have in Jesus
Oh Jesus
Oh what a friend we have in Jesus
