- 1What a friend we have in Jesus,
- All our sins and griefs to bear!
- What a privilege to carry
- Ev'rything to God in prayer!
- O what peace we often forfeit,
- O what needless pain we bear,
- All because we do not carry
- Ev'rything to God in prayer.
- 2Have 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!
- 3Are we weak and heavy-laden,
- Cumbered with a load of care?
- Precious Savior, 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 wilt find a solace there.
- 4Amen.
