What A Friend We have in Jesus
What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev’rything 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 ev’ry 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.
Love this poem! 🤣
I do too my dear 💝

❤ I love this hymn! One of my favorites! Thanks for bringing it to mind, and putting the song back in my head! 😉
I love it too. I remember singing it out loud in highschool but never really thought much through the words and the heart it bore. I can now sing it with my heart knowing God is good indeed.
So glad you’ve gotten to know your friend! ❤
Thank you. I am thankful that He has made himself known to me. I know for a fact that it’s only by His grace.❤
