What a friend we have in Jesus, |
|
All our sins and griefs to bear! |
|
What a privilege to carry |
|
Everything to God in prayer! |
|
Oh what peace we often forfeit, |
|
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 |
|
Who will all our sorrows 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 Savior, 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. |
