What a Friend We Havein Jesus Words by Joseph Scriven Music by Charles C. Converse Words and Music public domain 154
What a friend we have in JesusAll our sins and griefs to bearWhat a privilege to carryEv’rything to God in prayer
Oh, what peace we often forfeitOh, what needless pain we bearAll because we do not carryEv’rything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptationsIs there trouble anywhereWe should never be discouragedTake it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithfulWho will all our sorrows shareJesus knows our ev’ry weaknessTake it to the Lord in prayer
Are we weak and heavy ladenCumbered with a load of carePrecious Savior, still our refugeTake it to the Lord in prayer
Do thy friends despise, forsake theeTake it to the Lord in prayerIn His arms He’ll take and shield theeThou wilt find a solace there
