A Hymn That Comforts

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear.
What a privilege to carry,
ev'rything to God in Prayer.
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry,
ev'rything 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 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.
