1. What a Friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and grieves to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Every thing 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 Saviour, 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.
