What a Friend we have in Jesus

Joseph M. Scriven (lyrics 1855) Charles Converse (music 1868), Ireland

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.


Are we weak and heavy laden,

Cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, 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.

Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised

Thou wilt all our burdens bear;

May we ever, Lord, be bringing

All to Thee 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.
