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

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.

When my sister passed they sang her favorite song: What a friend we have in Jesus. The title is so true. The song is now my favorite. Anytime I hear it I stop and listen. I sing it often. It brings such beautiful peace and comfort. For our very best friend will always be Jesus.

What a friend indeed he is to me. That he would take the punishment that I deserve just to save me from the wrath to come! That he would redeem me from the curse of the law of Moses, so that I could receive the blessing that he deserves on my behalf! That he would allow himself to be forsaken by the Father, so that I could be reconciled to God forever! I think that makes him a friend, understatement :)

One of the most beautiful hymns in all of Christendom. It gives us a constant reminder of Christ's ever presence nature in our affairs and God's profession of hearing our prayers.
