what a friend we have in Jesus

What a Friend we have in Jesus
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.

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.

Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, 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.

Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing all to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright unclouded there will be no need for prayer
Rapture, praise and endless worship will be our sweet portion there.

背我一切傷痛重罪，神是罪人知心友，
讚嘆尊享主賜厚待，能夠禱告這密友。
錯過主的安慰萬次，多少心事空苦透，
怪我不懂把眾困惑，全數禱告這密友。

縱有挑戰加倍試煉，愁悶困難繞心裏，
我卻不需感到挫敗，全意禱告這伴侶。
那裏去找真摯密友，分擔所有的唏噓？
救主基督知我軟弱，煩惱中跟我獨對。

載滿千斤積怨壓力，塵俗網羅揮不去，
每次好友添我窘累，全告知天國伴侶﹔
到了那天烏雲盡退，禱聲眼淚都不需，
讚美取替所有掛慮，隨處充滿我樂趣！
