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!

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.

This was my favorite hymn when I met Jesus at 5yrs. It has stayed with me all my days as I approach 66yrs. Jesus has seen me through many trials and many falls, always so faithful. I always find peace in his presence, so grateful for our relationship. He has never let me down. It is through his righteousness that I am saved not of anything that I have done. Look for truth and care in Jesus Christ His friendship is closer that a brother.

My soul jumps for joy whenever I remember this song and sings it.
Indeed we have a friend in Jesus, but often times we fail to take the advantage of carrying everything to him, who can handle them better.
God bless the composer.
