Lyrics
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?
Jesus is our only 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.
