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 for-feit
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 faith-ful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer

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