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.

You CAN find Comfort and relief in the OLD HYMNS. Jesus IS not only our friend, but OUR SAVIOUR! I pray, "Thank You Lord for caring and saving ME, a sinner, YOU LOVED ME, when I was yet unlovely. THANK YOU GOD." Amen.

All my life friends and loved ones ignore me when I need them most but this song is my courage that even if I've been left out and despised Jesus will never give up on me. I love You Lord.

Anytime I sing this hymn I feel so much blessed that God is just always by my side to lift me up and help me carry my burden! He's so faithful and I know I need not worry because my worries won't heal me of my stress and that I ought to know what I should do as a believer. Thank You dear Lord! You are awesome!
