What a friend
we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs
to bear
What a privilege
to carry
Everything to God
in prayer
O 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 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
Burdened with
a load of care
Precious Savior
Still our refuge
Take it to the Lord
in prayer
Do your friends despise
forsake you
Take it to the Lord
in prayer
Jesus' arms will take
and shield you
You will find
a solace there
