G What a friend we have in Jesus, A All ours sins and griefs to bear, G What a privilege to carry D Everything to God in prayer! D O what peace we often forfeit, A O what needless pain we bear, G
All because we do not carry D 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 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.
