What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Author: Joseph Scriven, 1820-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,692 hymnals Scripture: James 5:13 Lyrics: 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! Oh, what peace we often forfeit; oh, what needless pain we bear– all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer. 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. 3 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.

What various hindrances we meet

Author: Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 524 hymnals Scripture: James 5:17-18 Lyrics: 1 What various hindrances we meet In coming to a mercy-seat! Yet who that knows the worth of prayer But wishes to be often there! 2 Prayer makes the darkened clouds withdraw; Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw; Gives exercise to faith and love; Brings every blessing from above. 3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight; Prayer makes the Christian's armor bright; And Satan trembles when he sees The weakest saint upon his knees. 4 Have you no words? Ah, think again: Words flow apace when you complain, And fill a fellow-creature's ear With the sad tale of all your care. 5 Were half the breath thus vainly spent To heaven in supplication sent, Our cheerful song would oftener be, Hear what the Lord hath done for me.

Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: Alleluia! 5 Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always: Alleluia!
