What a Freind We Have In Jesus
Joseph M. Scriven 1855
G C
What a friend we have in Jesus,
G D
All our sins and griefs to bear!
G C
What a privilege to carry
G D G
Everything to God in prayer
Am G
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
C G D
Oh, what needless pain we bear
G C
all because we do not carry
G D G
everything to God in prayer.
[Verse 2]
G C
Have we trials and temptations?
G D
Is there trouble anywhere?
G C
We should never be discouraged,
G D G
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Am G
Can we find a friend so faithful?
C G D
Who will all our sorrows share?
G C
Jesus knows our every weakness,
G D G
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
[Verse 3]
G C
Are we weak and heavy laden,
G D
Cumbered with a load of care?
G C
Precious Savior, still our refuge
G D G
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Am G
Do thy friends despise forsake thee?
C G D
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
G C
In His arms He'll take and shield thee,
G D G
Thou wilt find a solace there.
[Verse 4]
G C
Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
G D
Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
G C
May we ever, Lord, be bringing
G D G
All to Thee in earnest prayer.
Am G
Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
C G D
There will be no need for prayer—
G C
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
G D G
Will be our sweet portion there.
