WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN
JESUS
作詞： Joseph Scriven (1820-1886)
作曲： Charles Converse
(1834-1918)
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.
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
your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms
He'll take and shield you; you will find a solace there.
