1. What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear.
What a privilege carry everything to God in prayer.
Oh, what peace we often forfeit, oh, what needless pain we bear. All because we do not carry, everything to God 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.
3 Are we weak and heavy laden, encumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, 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.
