Reg Lindsay - What A Friend We Have In Jesus Lyrics

What a friend we ha-ave in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear-ear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

All the peace
(What a friend we have, what a friend we have)
We often forfeit
(What a friend we have, what a friend we have)
Oh what needless
(What a friend we have, what a friend we have)
Pain we bear-ear

All because
(What a friend we have, what a friend we have)
We do not carry
(What a friend we have, what a friend we have)
Everything to God
(What a friend we have, what a friend we have)
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 thy friends despise
(What a friend we have, what a friend we have)
Forsake thee
(What a friend we have, what a friend we have)
Take it to the Lord
(What a friend we have, what a friend we have)
In prayer

In His arms He'll take
(What a friend we have, what a friend we have)
And shield thee
(What a friend we have, what a friend we have)
Thou will find
(What a friend we have, what a friend we have)
A solace there
