What a friend we have in Jesus,
                        
All our sins and griefs to bear!
                 
What a privilege to carry
                  
Everything to God in prayer!

                   
O what peace we often forfeit,
                  
O 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.
