What a friend
1. What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer.
![Page 71: The service - alternative form](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5681625c550346895dd2b309/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
What a friend
2. 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.
![Page 72: The service - alternative form](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5681625c550346895dd2b309/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
What a friend
3. 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 your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer; In His arms He’ll take and shield you, You will find a solace there.
