C What a friend we have in F Jesus,
C All our sins and griefs to G bear.
C What a privilege it is to F carry, G everything to God in C prayer.
G Oh! What peace we often C forfeit,
F Oh, what C needless pain we G bear,
C All because we do not F carry, G everything to God in C prayer.
C Have we trials and F temptations?
C Is there trouble G anywhere?
C We should never been F discouraged;
G Take it to the Lord in C prayer.
G Can we find a friend so C faithful?
F Who will C all our sorrows G share
C Jesus knows our every F weakness;
G Take it to the Lord in C prayer!
C Are we weak and heavy F laden?
C Cumbered with a load of G care
C Precious Saviour, still our F refuge –
G Take it to the Lord in C prayer.
G Do your friends despise, C forsake you?
F Take it C to the Lord in G prayer
C In his arms he’ll take and F shield you;
G You will find a solace C there.
