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
O what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there any 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!
Are we weak and heavy laden?
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour 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 will find a solace there!
