In Jesus, Friend We Have
In Jesus, friend we have closer than a brother
He commands us to take 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
We have struggles and sorrows, and in life, temptation
We do not lack comfort when we go to Christ in prayer
Will there be another friend with such great compassion?
The contrite, Jesus Christ, always answers in prayer
And if we faint, Christ reaches out his hand
For He is always our strength and refuge in prayer
If this world despises us
Christ is ours, in prayer
He embraces us in His arms and gives us consolation
