Over deze songtekst:
Geschreven in 1855 en op muziek gezet in 1868. Joseph maakte het gedicht voor zijn moeder toen hij in Canada was en zij in Ierland. Hij wilde met het gedicht zijn moeder steunen. Het lied wordt in vele talen gezongen, ook in het Nederlands.
What a Friend we have in Jesus All our sins and griefs to bear What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer O what peace we often forfeit O what needless pain we bear All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged Take it to the Lord in prayer He will never let you down Never find a sweeter sound Can we find a Friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness Take it to the Lord in prayer He will never let you down Never find a sweeter sound What a friend we have in Jesus
