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
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, 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 arm He'll take and shield thee;
Thou wilt find a solace there.
PASS ME NOT, O GENTLE SAVIOUR
Verse 1
Pass me not, O gentle Saviour
Hear my humble cry;
While on others thou art calling
Do not pass me by
Chorus
Saviour Saviour
Hear my humble cry
While on others thou art calling
Do not pass me by
Verse 2
Let me at Thy throne of mercy,
Find a sweet relief
Kneeling there in deep contrition
Help my unbelief
Verse 3
Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.
Verse 4
Thou the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in heav'n but Thee.
