## What a friend we have in Jesus (D)
Words and Music by Joseph M.Scriven and Charles C. Converse
D G
What a friend we have in Je -sus,
Have we tri-als and temp-ta -tions?
Are we weak and heav-y lad-en,
D A A7
All our sins and griefs to bea-r!
Is there trou-ble an-y -where?
Cum-bered with a load of care?
D G
What a priv-i-lege to car -ry
We should nev-er be dis -cour-aged-
Pre-cious Sav-ior, still our ref -uge-
D A A7 D
Ev-‘ry -thing to God in prayer!
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
A Adim A D A7 D
O, what peace we of-ten for-feit,
Can we find a friend so faith-ful,
Do thy friends de-spise, for-sake thee?
G D A
O, what need-less pain we bear,
Who will all our sor-rows share?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
D G
All be-cause we do not car-ry
Je-sus knows our ev-‘ry weak-ness-
In His arms he’ll take and shield thee-
D A A7 D
Ev-‘ry -thing to God in prayer.
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Thou wilt find a sol-ace there.
