"What a Friend We Have in Jesus" Lyrics

(Joseph Scrivens - Charles Converse - Sid Feller)

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefes to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer.

Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Of what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.

--- Instrumental ---

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 sorrow share
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer...
