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

everything to God in prayer.
(Verse 2)
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never
C majorC D MajorD G+G D MajorD
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,
D MajorD G+G
take it to the Lord in prayer.

G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious
C majorC D MajorD G+G D MajorD
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
C majorC D MajorD G+G
take and shield thee, thou wilt find a solace there.
