What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear

And what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

Oh, what peace we often forfeit
And oh, 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?
Or who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Are we weak and heavy laden?
Encumbered with a load of care

Precious Savior still I 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 you
You will find a solace there

Blessed Savior Thou hast promised

Thou wilt all our burdens bear

May we ever Lord be bringing

All to Thee in ernest prayer

Soon in glory bright unclouded

There will be no need for prayer

Rapture praise and endless worship

Will be our sweet portion there

Oh, take it to the Lord in prayer
Take it to the Lord in prayer
