The Blessing of Song
Author: J. J. L. Hymnal: Junior Songs #66 (1892) First Line: "What a friend we have in Jesus" Lyrics: 1 "What a friend we have in Jesus,"
Sang a little child one day;
And a weary woman listened
To the darling's happy lay.
All her life seemed dark and gloomy,
And her heart was sad with care;
Sweetly rang out baby's treble,
"All our sins and griefs to bear."
2 Jesus knows our every weakness,
He will carry every woe;
And the one who sadly listened
Needed that dear Helper so!
Sin and grief were heavy burdens
For a fainting soul to bear;
But the baby, singing, bade her
"Take it to the Lord in prayer."
3 Are we weak and heavy laden?
Weak and worn she turned to God,
Asking Christ to take her burden,
As he was the sinner's Lord.
Jesus was the only refuge,
He could take her sin and care,
And he blessed the weary woman
When she came to him in prayer.
4 And the happy child, still singing,
Little knew she had a part
In God's wondrous work of bringing
Peace unto a troubled heart.
So may we, who love the Saviour;
Say to those bowed down with care,
That the Saviour is their refuge,
They will find a solace there. Languages: English Tune Title: ["What a friend we have in Jesus"]
