585. What a Friend We Have in Jesus (Oh, qué amigo nos es Cristo)

1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit;
Oh, what needless pain we bear–
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything 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 ev'ry 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 your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
In his arms he'll take and shield you;
You will find a solace there.

1 ¡Oh, qué amigo nos es Cristo!
Él llevó nuestro dolor
Y nos manda que llevemos
todo a Dios en oración.
Si vivimos desprovistos
de paz, gozo y santo amor,
esto es porque no llevamos
todo a Dios en oración.

2 ¿Vives débil y cargado
de cuidados y temor?
A Jesús, refugio eterno,
dile todo en oración.
¿Te desprecian tus amigos?
Cuéntaselo en oración;
en sus brazos de amor tierno
paz tendrá tu corazón.

3 Jesucristo es nuestro amigo,
de esto pruebas nos mostró
al sufrir el cruel castigo
que el culpable mereció.
Y su pueblo redimido
hallará seguridad,
fiando en este amigo eterno
y esperando en su bondad.
