WHAT A FRIEND

Words: Charles C. Converse
Music: Joseph Scrivan

(D)What a friend we have in (G)Jesus,
(D)All our 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

(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

(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
