Verse 1
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! 
 
Verse 2
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. 
 
Verse 3
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.
