What A Friend We Have In Jesus Lyrics

Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Brother Jesus is our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

Oh what a friend we have
In the Son of Man?
Oh what a friend we have
In the Son of Man?

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.

Oh what a friend we have
In the Son of Man?
Oh what a friend we have
In the Son of Man?

Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Brother Jesus is our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
