What a Friend we have in Jesus

English789

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O 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?
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.

Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
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.

The music was composed by Charles Crozat, Converse, LL. D. , musician, lawyer, and writer. He was born in Warren, Massachusetts. , 1832. , A descendent of Edward Converse, the friend of Governor Winthrop and founder of Woburn, Massachusetts. He pursued musical and other studies in Leipsic and Berlin. His compositions are numerous, including concert overtures, symphonies, and many sacred and secular pieces. He resided at Highwood, Bergen County, New Jersey. The hymn is one of the most helpful of the gospel collections, and the words and music have strengthened many a week and failing soul to “try again.“

(Brown and Butterworth 1909)

It’s 1:45am and I couldn’t sleep because of a troubled heart and I decided to read a passage about Elisha and Elijah’s friendship and Elisha’s unwavering loyalty and the reflection is that Jesus is my one true friend and suddenly I remember this hymn and “No, not one”.

This is a reassurance that I have a friend in Jesus.

Hymns are spiritual 🔥

This particular one just popped in my head last night when I was trying to get everything figured out . Jesus came through by giving me this hymn and Joel 2:25!

This isn’t just a hymn, it’s an affirmation that Jesus is real and an assurance that Jesus knows all that we’re going through.

He’s interested in our situation and He’s in the midst of that pain and worry!

Thank you Father for the gift of Jesus (my companion)!
