1. What a Friend we have in Je- sus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a priv- i- lege to car- ry ev- ery- thing to God in prayer! O what peace we of- ten for- feit, O what need- less pain we bear, All be- cause we do not ca- rry ev- ery- thing to God in prayer.

2. Have we tri- als and temp- ta- tions? Is there trou- ble a- ny- where? We should ne- ver be dis- cour- aged; take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faith- ful who will all our sor- rows share? Je- sus knows our ev- ery weak- ness; take it to the Lord in prayer.

3. Are we weak and hea- vy la- den, cum- bered with a load of care? Pre- cious Sa- vior, still our re- fuge, take it to the Lord in prayer. Do your friends des- pise, for- sake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In His arms He'll take and shield you; you will find a so- lace there.

4. Bless- ed Sa- vior, Thou hast pro- mised Thou wilt all our bur- dens bear May we ev- er, Lord, be bring- ing all to Thee in earn- est prayer. Soon in glo- ry bright un- cloud- ed there will be no need for prayer Rap- ture, praise and end- less wor- ship will be our sweet por- tion there.
