What A Friend We Have In Jesus Song Details

Christian hymn What a Friend We Have In Jesus, published in 1865 by H. L. Hastings.
Song was written by preacher Joseph M. Scriven. Song was composed by Charles C. Converse and lyricist was given by Joseph M. Scriven.

He knows all my faults, and yet he accepts me as I am. He sees all my weaknesses, but he never gives up on me. I can trust him to guide me home.

To Him, I confess every sin and stumbling block. With Him, I share all my thoughts and feelings, frustrations and fears, sorrows and joys. To Him, I entrust my deepest needs and desires. He always understands!

He listens to my heart as well as my words. He listens to my thoughts as well as my prayers. He tells me the truth, even if it hurts. He really cares!

Jesus rejoices when I am happy in Him. When I am sad, He shares my sadness. When I’m too tired to go on, He supports me. When I get lost, HE takes my hand and leads me on his path. My Friend is always there!

He tells me His thoughts and plans. In His love letters to me – They are all in my precious Bible – He shares His deepest thoughts. Share His joys as well as His sufferings. He shows me why He gave His life for me: so that He and I would be one for eternity.

Because He has united me to Himself by the cross, His friends are my friends. Your enemies are my enemies. Your battles are my battles. And he always triumphs – even when he has to share his wounds and wear war scars.

Every morning we plan our day together. All-day we walk and work together. We’re inseparable!

My friend is wise, patient, loving, and kind. He is faithful, considerate, unchangeable, and pure. He is strong, trustworthy, loyal, and true. He supplies my needs!

“This is my beloved and this is my Friend!” Is He your friend too?

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 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.

Holy Spirit You Are Welcome Here Lyrics

What A Friend We Have In Jesus Lyrics In Spanish

Qué amigo tenemos en Jesús,
¡Todos nuestros pecados y penas para soportar!
Qué privilegio sobrellevar
¡todo hacia Dios en oración!
¡Oh, qué paz a seguido perdemos!
¡Oh, qué dolor innecesario tenemos!
todo porque no llevamos
todo hacia Dios en oración.

¿Tenemos pruebas y tentaciones?
¿Hay problemas en alguna parte?
Nunca debemos desanimarnos;
llévalo al Señor en oración.
¿Podemos encontrar un amigo tan fiel
a quién compartirle todas nuestras penas?
Jesús conoce nuestras debilidades enteras;
llévalo al Señor en oración.

¿Somos débiles y cargados de peso,
obstaculizados con montón de preocupaciones?
Precioso Salvador, todavía nuestro refugio;
llévalo al Señor en oración.
¿Tus amigos te desprecian, te abandonan?
¡Llévalo al Señor en oración!
En Sus brazos te tomará y protegerá;
encontrarás un consuelo allí.
