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.

Ssimbwa Julius, I say continually: Jehovah be magnified. Let God be magnified. Why, because I love his salvation and all the saints seek him and rejoice and be glad in him say: Jehovah be magnified and let God be magnified.

Samuel Kettner Nicholson, I sing: ooo what a Savior who raised a ladder of mercy for me and the cross raiseth me for the privilege; then I glory in mine infirmities that the power of Christ mar rest upon me ~ g l O r y !

A precious old hymn that still has fresh new, help, assurance, blessed, meaning today amen. It is like our Father in heaven the same yesterday today and forever it will always bless the Saints.

These comforting words were born out of grief... read about the author .. his life was full of grief! He found the Friend Who sticks closer than a brother through his sorrow!
