What a friend we have in Jesus all our sins and grieves 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

Have we trials and temptation is there trouble anywhere
We should never be discouraged take it to the Lord in prayer

Can we find up friend so faithful who will all our sorrow share
Jesus knows our every weakness take it to the Lord in prayer

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
Thou wilt find a solace there
