What a Friend We Have in Jesus: words by Joseph M. Scriven, music by Charles C. Converse


D           Em        A              D
Be still my soul! the Lord is on thy side;

D           Em     A                 D
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;

D        D/C#  Bm     F#m          Em
Leave to thy   God to order and provide;

Em  B7  Em  D         G               F#
In  eve-ry  change He faithful will remain.

D        D/C#  Bm        F#m                  Em
Be still my    soul! thy best thy heavenly Friend

Em      B7  Em  D          G    A      F#
Through thorny  ways leads to a joyful end.

D        D/C#  Bm        F#m                   Em
Be still my    soul; the waves and winds still know

Em  B7    Em  D          G        A       D
His voice Who ruled them while He dwelt below.



D                        G
What a friend we have in Jesus,

D                          A
All our sins and griefs to bear!

D                   G
What a privilege to carry

D             A      G
Everything to God in prayer!

A7                     D
Oh what peace we often forfeit,

G      D        Em      Asus  A
O what needless pain we bear,

D                     G
All because we do not carry

D    A               D
Everything to God in prayer.



D        D/C#  Bm        F#m                   Em
Be still my    soul; the waves and winds still know

Em  B7    Em  D          G        A       D
His voice Who ruled them while He dwelt below.
