What a Friend We Have In Jesus
Verse 1
E
What a Friend we have in
A
Jesus,
E
all our sins and griefs to
B
bear!
E
What a privilege to
A
carry
E
every
B
thing to God in
E
prayer!
B
Oh, what peace we often
E
forfeit,
A
Oh what
E
needless pain we
B
bear,
E
All because we do not
A
carry
E
every
B
thing to God in
E
prayer.
Verse 2
E
Have we trials and temp
A
tations?
E
Is there trouble any
B
where?
E
We should never be dis
A
couraged;
E
take it
B
to the Lord in
E
prayer.
B
Can we find a friend so
E
faithful
A
who will
E
all our sorrows
B
share?
E
Jesus knows our every
A
weakness;
E
take it
B
to the Lord in
E
prayer.
Verse 3
E
Are we weak and heavy
A
laden,
E
cumbered with a load of
B
care?
E
Precious Savior, still our
A
refuge,
E
take it
B
to the Lord in
E
prayer.
B
Do thy friends despise, for
E
sake thee?
A
Take it
E
to the Lord in
B
prayer!
E
In His arms He'll take and
A
shield thee;
E
thou wilt
B
find a solace
E
there.
Verse 4
E
Blessed Savior, Thou hast
A
promised
E
Thou wilt all our burdens
B
bear
E
May we ever, Lord, be
A
bringing
E
all to
B
Thee in earnest
E
prayer.
B
Soon in glory bright un
E
clouded
A
there will
E
be no need for
B
prayer
E
Rapture, praise and endless
A
worship
E
will be
B
our sweet portion
E
there.
