Hymn 118 - What a Friend we Have in Jesus
Verse 1
What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer!
Verse 2
O what peace we often forfeit! O what needless pain we bear! All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer.
Verse 3
Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Verse 4
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 5
Are we weak and heavy-laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Saviour, still our refuge, Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Verse 6
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.
