[Verse 1]
WGhat a friend we have in JCesus,
GAll our sins and griefs to Dbear!
WGhat a privilege to cCarry
EGverytDhing to God in pGrayer
AmOh, what peace we often foGrfeit,
COh, what nGeedless pain we bDear
aGll because we do not cCarry
GeveryDthing to God in praGyer.
[Verse 2]
HGave we trials and temptCations?
GIs there trouble anyDwhere?
GWe should never be discCouraged,
GTake it Dto the Lord in pGrayer.
AmCan we find a friend so fGaithful?
CWho will aGll our sorrows shDare?
JGesus knows our every weaCkness,
TGake it Dto the Lord in praGyer.
[Verse 3]
AGre we weak and heavy lCaden,
CuGmbered with a load of cDare?
PGrecious Savior, still our rCefuge
GTake it Dto the Lord in pGrayer.
AmDo thy friends despise forsGake thee?
TCake it tGo the Lord in pDrayer.
GIn His arms He'll take and shCield thee,
GThou wilt fDind a solace tGhere.
[Verse 4]
GBlessed Savior, Thou hast Cpromised
GThou wilt all our burdens Dbear;
GMay we ever, Lord, be bCringing
GAll to TDhee in earnest pGrayer.
AmSoon in glory bright, uncGlouded,
CThere will Gbe no need for pDrayer—
RGapture, praise, and endless Cworship
WGill be Dour sweet portion Gthere.
