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.
|
Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?
|
|
Precious Savior, still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer.
|
Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer!
|
In His arms He'll take and shield you; you will find a solace there.
|
|
Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear
|
May we ever, Lord, be bringing all to Thee in earnest prayer.
|
Soon in glory bright unclouded there will be no need for prayer
|
Rapture, praise and endless worship will be our sweet portion there.
