What a Friend We Have in Jesus
耶稣恩友
1 耶穌是我親愛朋友，擔當我罪與憂愁，
何等權利能將萬事，帶到主恩座前求
多少平安屢屢失去，多少痛苦白白受，
皆因未將各樣事情，帶到主恩座前求。
或遇試探或遇引誘，或有煩惱壓心頭，
切莫灰心切莫喪膽，來到主恩座前求，
何處得此忠心朋友，分擔一切苦與憂；
耶穌深知我們軟弱，來到主恩座前求。
2 是否軟弱勞苦多愁，掛慮重擔壓肩頭，
主仍是我避難處所，來到主恩座前求，
親或離我友或棄我，來到主恩座前求，
在主懷中必蒙護佑，與主同在永無憂。
耶穌是我親愛朋友？擔當我罪與憂愁？
何等權利能將萬事，帶到主恩座前求；
多少平安屢屢失去，多少痛苦白白受，
皆因未將各樣事情，帶到主恩座前求。
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!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, 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.
3. 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.
4. Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
May we ever, Lord, be bringing
All to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
There will be no need for prayer—
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there.
