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

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 thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

The Lord Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever - a steadfast friend that will never leave us nor forsake us through thick and thin. He is our refuge, our strong fortress. His faithfulness will be our shield. We will not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness nor the plague that destroys by midday.

When I am heavy laden by my anxiety and mood disorder - I know Jesus is still here with me. He knows about it all. He cares.

I am a Methodist the words and the music remind me of my Great Aunts funeral in a simple Methodist church in Caister Norfolk ENGLAND, where the founder of our faith preached so many years ago.

Beautiful hymn
Singing it with my family during this period it's so reflective

So comforting. It makes me remembered my late father when he used to sing every morning. Jesus Christ is the only trusted and reliable friend one can depend on. As we take everything to prayer may the Lord see us through
