What A Friend

by Joseph Scriven

What a Friend we have in Jesus,

All our sins and grief to bear!

What a privilege to carry

Everything of 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 Saviour, 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.
