What a Friend we have in Jesus Christian Background Music then for English

1 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!

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 every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!

1. Welch ein Freund ist unser Jesus, O, wie hoch ist er erhöht!

Wenn wir nicht zu ihm uns wenden, Und ihn suchen im Gebet!

2. Wenn des Feindes Macht uns drohet, Und manch Sturmwind um uns weht,
Brauchen wir uns nicht zu fürchten, Stehn wir gläubig im Gebet.

Als ein mächtiger Erretter, Der erhört ein ernst Gebet.

耶稣是我亲爱朋友，担当我罪与忧愁，

或遇试炼或遇引诱，或有烦恼压心头，
