What a Friend We Have Jesus

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
Jesus, savior, is our refuge, take it to the lord in prayer
Are we weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care?
Jesus knows our every weakness, take it to the lord in prayer

Blessed savior, you have promised
All our burdens you will bear, may we ever
Lord, be bringing all to you in earnest prayer
Soon, in glory bright unclouded
Face to face will be our prayer
Joyful praise and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there
