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!
2
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.
3
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.

Wonderful hymn, knew it in my young years and these more than 3 decades of my life, God has been a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Praise the Lord we do have a friend in Jesus. He is a close intimate friend we can confide in. Not like the FB friends of today. He has really made Himself more real to me by the answering of my prayers recently. My prayer life has really been healthy these last 5 years since I retired. Honestly I was carried by the prayers of the church for many years.
