What a Friend we have in Jesus

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!
O what peace we often forfeit,
  O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
  Everything to God in prayer!
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.
3
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.

Jesus is our only true friend. He holds the key to life and to the kingdom of heaven. He is my true friend and I wait on Him for He has taken my burdens! The song sees to depict this! Thanks.

The Bible said ”cast your cares upon Him for He careth for you"

We just sang this song in church worshiping God, and we were so lifted and filled by His Spirit.

Suddenly saints started realising that there is no need to try to do the work or fight the battle that has already been won for us all.

It's so amazing to know that God loves me so much more than I can ever figure.

This song is one of my favorites. My wife and I will be singing the song as a special way of thanking God for been a true Friend to our entire family in the year 2012. Jesus indeed is a true Friend.

Where is the fourth and final verse? The one that speaks of all God's promises for us?

I love this song because it comforts me whenever I feel bad. Especially when I'm having a really bad time and when I need to be comforted even as a10 year old. The Lord is my very best friend.

What a great gift we have to have a Friend who help us no matter how much He suffered, in the time we feel pain, and in the time we feel discouraged. This hymn shall be our path to JESUS.
