[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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Are we weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
Take it to the Lord in prayer
JJesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er
(Take it to the Load in prayer)
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
(Oh what a friend we have... in Jesus)
O, for grace to trust Him more!
