59. What a Friend We Have in Jesus
“Greater love has no one than this.” John 15:13 NIV
Text: Joseph Scriven; Music: Charles C. Converse; Key of F major
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, 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 ev’ry 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 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
