What a friend we have in Jesus, 
All our sins and griefs to bear! 
What a privilage to carry 
Ev'rything to God in prayer! 

Oh, what peace we often forfeit, 
Oh what needless pain we bear, 
All because we do not carry 
Ev'rything 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.
