{Title: What A Friend We Have In Jesus}
{Verse}
[D]What a friend we have in [G]Jesus,
[D]All ours sins and griefs to [A]bear,
[D]What a privilege to [G]carry
[A]Everything to God in [D]prayer!
[A]O what peace we often [D]forfeit,
[G]O what [D]needless pain we [A]bear,
[D]All because we do not [G]carry
[A]Everything to God in [D]prayer!
{Verse}
[D]Have we trials and temp[G]tations?
[D]Is there trouble any[A]where?
[D]We should never be dis[G]couraged;
[A]Take it to the Lord in [D]prayer.
[A]Can we find a friend so [D]faithful
[G]Who will [D]all our sorrows [A]share?
[D]Jesus knows our every [G]weakness;
[A]Take it to the Lord in [D]prayer.
{Verse}
[D]Are we weak and heavy [G]laden,
[D]Cumbered with a load of [A]care?
[D]Precious Saviour still our [G]refuge;
[A]Take it to the Lord in [D]prayer.
[A]Do thy friends despise for[D]sake thee?
[G]Take it [D]to the Lord in [A]prayer!
[D]In His arms He·ll take and [G]shield thee;
[A]Thou wilt find a solace [D]there.
