Oh, Que Amigo Em Cristo Temos!

Oh, what a friend we have in Christ!
Closer than a brother!
He wants us to bring everything
To the good God in prayer
Oh, what peace we always lose!
Oh, what heartache!
Just because we don't turn
To the good God in prayer

There are sorrows and troubles
There are temptations in life
We are not left without comfort
Going to Christ in prayer
There is no other friend
So grand in compassion
To the humble and contrite
Christ answers in prayer

When in pain we faint
Christ reaches out his hand to us
For He is always our strength
Our refuge in prayer
And if they despise us here
Christ is ours in prayer
He embraces us in His arms
And gives us consolation
