499- What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Christian Life: Meditation and Prayer

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.

2

  • 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!

3

  • 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.
