What A Friend We Have In Jesus / Pass Me Not O Gentle Saviour by Charles C. Converse — Lyrics

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS Verse 1 What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and grief to bear! What a privilege to carry Ev'ry thing to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Ev'ry thing to God in prayer. Verse 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. Verse 3 Are we weak and heavy laden

About What A Friend We Have In Jesus / Pass Me Not O Gentle Saviour

This sheet brings together two deeply beloved hymns of comfort, prayer, and seeking God's mercy. In the choir loft, these pieces serve as gentle reminders of God's enduring presence and are often sung during moments of quiet reflection. "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" speaks to the profound relief found in bringing our daily trials and heavy burdens directly to God in prayer, rather than trying to carry them alone.

The second hymn, "Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour," is a humble and earnest plea for grace. Congregations often sing this during penitential seasons, at retreats, or as a prayerful meditation before or after Communion. Its lyrics—asking the Lord to hear a humble cry and grant sweet relief—resonate strongly with anyone seeking spiritual healing and closeness to the Divine. Together in this simple sol-fa arrangement, they provide a beautiful resource for worship leaders guiding their parishes through moments of sincere devotion.
