THE STORY BEHIND THE HYMN Joseph Scriven wrote these words in 1855 to comfort his mother, who was sick and grieving in Ireland while he lived far away in Canada. He titled the poem "Pray Without Ceasing" and never meant for anyone else to read it. When a neighbor later asked if he had written it, Scriven simply said, "The Lord and I did it between us." Out of one man's sorrow came one of the most comforting hymns ever written - and its message is still the same: take it to the Lord in prayer. LYRICS 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 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 Are we weak and heavy laden Cumbered with a load of care Precious Savior 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 arms He'll take and shield thee Thou wilt find a solace there CREDITS "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" Words: Joseph M.
