What a friend we have in Jesus<br />All our sins and grieves to share<br />What a privilege to carry<br />Everything to God in prayer<br /><br />Oh what peace we often forfeit<br />Oh what needless pain we bear<br />All because we do not carry<br />Everything to God in prayer<br /><br />Have we trials and temptations<br />Is there trouble anywhere<br />We should never be discouraged<br />Take it to the Lord in prayer<br /><br />Can we find up friend so faithful<br />Who will all our sorrow share<br />Jesus knows our every weakness<br />Take it to the Lord in prayer<br /><br />Are we weak and heavy-laden,<br />Cumbered with a load of care?<br />Precious Savior, still our refuge—<br />Take it to the Lord in prayer;<br /><br />Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?<br />Take it to the Lord in prayer;<br />In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,<br />Thou wilt find a solace there.
