What
a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What
a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh,
what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, 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
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.
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.
