Verse 1
What 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
Verse 2
Have we trials and temptations
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we fnd a friend so faithful?
Who will our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Verse 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 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.
