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.

The hymn is very precious to me and my family.
Chester, NJ, U.S.A.
My beloved grandmother used to sing this to me when I was a little girl and stayed with her. My uncle (her son) is fighting with his brother over money and I told him how silly that was, and that his mother would be upset to think any of her 11 children would fight over money. And I quoted this hymn in wishing he'd turn the problem over to God...and couldn't remember all the words. And then I found your website...you can't know how grateful I am. Wow! Surely my Gram and God brought me swiftly to the right place to find the help my uncle needs. Thanks ever so much. PS I'm 54, my uncle is 79 and Gram's been gone 41 years...still I hear her and see her kindly face. I guess my uncles can't see her as clearly...
