Verse 1

What a friend we have in Jesus (What a friend we have in Jesus) All our sins and griefs to bear; (All our sins and griefs to bear;) What a privilege to carry (What a privilege to carry) ev-’rything to God in prayer. O what peace we often forfeit (O what peace we often forfeit) O what needless pain we bear (O what needless pain we bear)  All because we do not carry (all because we do not carry) ev ’rything to God in prayer.

Verse 2

Have we trials and temptations? (Have we trials and temptations?) Is there trouble anywhere? (Is there trouble anywhere?) We should never be discouraged, (We should never be discouraged,) Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, (find a friend so faithful,) Who will all our sorrows share? (Who will all our sorrows share?) Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness: (Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness:) Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Verse 3

Are we weak and heavy laden, (Are we weak and heavy laden,) ’Cumbered with a load of care? (’Cumbered with a load of care?) Precious Savior, still our refuge, (Precious Savior, still our refuge,) Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? (Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?) Take it to the Lord in prayer; In His arms He’ll take and shield thee; (In His arms He’ll take and shield thee;) Thou wilt find a solace there.
