What a friend we have in Jesus

All our sins and griefes to bear

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer.



Oh, what peace we often forfeit

Of what needless pain we bear

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer.



--- Instrumental ---



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 sorrow share

Jesus knows our every weakness

Take it to the Lord in prayer...
