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.

'Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged. Take it to the Lord in prayer'. My favorite part

This is a comforting hymn which I have to send to my parishioners who are in grief for losing their 4 members of the family to a motor accident. May their souls rest in peace.

Our Lord and Savior, the God of the universe: "In His arms he'll take and shield thee"! Can there be anything more wonderful, more protective, more loving. This makes your heart burst with joy and your eyes fill with tears of gratitude. Praise Him, praise Him, praise Him forever.

In sending a message to my daughter about a difficult family situation this hymn came to mind. What a friend we really do have in Jesus and a reminder to take it to the Lord in prayer.

This is one of the songs that touches the heart and blessed me every time I recite the lyrics over and over again.

I awoke in the middle of the night a couple of nights ago with many worries on my mind. Immediately the Lord dropped this song into my spirit. I hadn’t heard it in years. I prayed and gave Him all my cares and concerns. Then I fell into a deep peaceful sleep. I’ve been singing it ever since. He’s so good and kind.
