Daniel O'Donnell - What a Friend We Have in Jesus lyrics

(These words are suppled for you to sing

along with this strickly instrumental song.)

What a friend we have in Jesus

All our sins and griefs to bear

What a privilage to carry

Ev'rything to God in prayer!

Oh, what peace we often forfeit

Oh, what needless pain we bear

All because we do not carry

Ev'rything 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 Saviour, still our refuge

Take it to the Lord in prayer:

Do the friends despise, forsake thee

Take it to the Lord in prayer

In His arms He'll take and shield thee

And you will find a solace there.

And you will find a solace there...
