What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Author: Jospeh M. Scriven, 1819-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,692 hymnals Topics: Loss Lyrics: 1 What a Friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Ev'rything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Ev'rything 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 ev'ry 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 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. Scripture: Psalm 38:12 Used With Tune: CONVERSE

Refrain: Fresh as the morning, sure as the sunrise, God always faithful, you do not change. Fresh as the morning, sure as the sunrise, God always faithful, you do not change. 2 God in our struggles, God in our hunger, suffering with us, taking our part, still you empower us, mothering Spirit, feeding, sustaining, from your own heart. [Refrain] 3 Those without status, those who are nothing, you have made royal, gifted with rights, chosen as partners, midwives of justice, birthing new systems, lighting new lights. [Refrain] 4 Not by your finger, not by your anger will our world order change in a day, but by your people, fearless and faithful, small paper lanterns, lighting the way. [Refrain] 5 Hope we must carry, shining and certain through all our turmoil, terror, and loss, bonding us gladly one to the other, till our world changes facing the cross. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 30:5 Languages: English Tune Title: FRESH AS THE MORNING
