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.

I hv been passing through alot my heart is full with problems of how to solve it. Then I slept and I had a dream where I was asked to sing this song I sang it and I felt relieved. Then I woke up and I continued singing it. I really Thank God cos He is Too Faithful to fail.

I got up 1 am last night and could not sleep till now because of threats of genocide against a section of people of my country . I have cried until now the Holy Spirit brought this song to my memory. It is so good and consoling to know that God can and will shield us and we will find solace in Him. Thank You Lord

Then I found the hymn here. It's very beautiful.
