What a friend we have in Zion,

all their sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

water for their Netty there!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

all because we will not carry

Everything we own to Netty there!

Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble everywhere?

We should never be discouraged;

Take it up with Netty there.

Can we find a friend so faithless

who will all their sorrows share?

Netty knows our every weakness;

enslaved to Zion there!

***

Are we weak and heavy laden,

cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Zion, still our refuge?

Might drop all you Samsons there!

Do your friends forsake you?

Take it to your Baal and swear!

In his cold stone arms he'll shield you;

But you will find no solace there.
