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.

Oh! What a friend we have in Jesus, each time life throws you in bushes with thorns or over the hot lava, when you kneel down and call unto Him, definately He comes to our aid. All we have to do is to shout to the top of our lungs and say "God You're mighty, You're worthy to be praised, glory, glory unto YOU"

This hymn is such a blessing to me, thanks that I can always find whatever hymn I love to sing early in the morning when I start my day.

The ministration of lyrics of the song is always new and so soul lifting for me. It is prayer to me every time I hear it. I bless God for the inspiration of the Holy Spirit that brought about this for mankind. Thank You Jesus.

This morning my heart is heavy with fear, and anxiety; but the Lord brought this wonderful encourage to me in the tune and words of this favorite hymn that I was "raised up" on as a child. I'm 63 and love the old hymns of my past. some of the contemporary songs are beautiful worship; however, the old hymns seemed to have been forged out of trials, temptations, fear, and such. The resonate with something special. The Holy Spirit speaking through the pain of life to our hearts who thirst after Jesus in are hardships and our pains. God bless you for providing this site and I am grateful to God for leading me to it. Even the piano rendition transports me to the church of my youth, hearing my grandmother sing this song, as well as my mother. Both are with the Lord now. We have so much to look forward to here and in our Hevenly home to come.
