What A Savior, What A Friend

Verse 1

What a friend we have in Je - sus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to car - ry
Ev‘rything to God in pray’r
O what peace we often forfeit
O what needless pain we bear
All because we do not car - ry
Ev‘rything to God in pray’r

Verse 2

Have we trials and tempta - tions
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discou - raged
Take it to the Lord in pray’r
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev‘ry weak - ness
Take it to the Lord in pray’r

Chorus

Our sweet Jesus walks beside
Through the shadows, through the night
On this we de - pend, a love that has no end
What a Savior, what a Friend
What a Savior, what a Friend

Verse 3

Are we weak and heavy la - den
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our re - fuge
Take it to the Lord in pray’r
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in pray’r
In His arms He'll take and shield you
You will find a solace there

Chorus

Our sweet Jesus walks beside
Through the shadows, through the night
On this we de - pend, a love that has no end
