What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
What a peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.
Chorus
What a friend, what a friend, what a friend we have
What a friend we have in Jesus.
What a friend, what a friend, what a friend we have
What a friend we have in Jesus.
Whoa, what a friend
Whoa, what a friend
What a friend, what a friend, what a friend we have
What a friend we have in Jesus.
Verse 2
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 every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Verse 3
Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield you;
And you’ll find a solace there.
