What a Friend We Have in Jesus Lyrics Video

What a friend we have in JesusAll our sins and griefs to bearWhat a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeitO what needless pain we bearAll because we do not carry everything to God in prayer

Have we trials and temptations?Is there trouble anywhere?We should never be discouragedTake it to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithfulWho will all our sorrows share?Jesus knows our every weaknessTake it to the Lord in prayer
