GWhat a friend we have in CJe-sus, Gall our sins and griefs to Dbear

GWhat a priv-i-lege to Ccar-ry Gev-ery-thing to DGod in Gprayer

GOh, what peace we of-ten Cfor-feit, Goh, what need-less pain we Dbear

GAll be-cause we do not Ccar-ry Gev-ery-thing to DGod in Gprayer

GHave we tri-als and temp-Cta-tions? GIs there trou-ble Dan-y-Gwhere?

GWe should nev-er be dis-Ccour-aged, Gtake it to the DLord in Gprayer

GCan we find a friend so Cfaith-ful Gwho will all our Dsor-rows Gshare?

GJe-sus knows our ev-ery Cweak-ness, Gtake it to the DLord in Gprayer

GAre we weak and heav-y-Clad-en, Gcum-bered with a Dload of Gcare?

GPre-cious Sav-ior, still our Cref-uge, Gtake it to the DLord in Gprayer

GDo thy friends de-spise, for-Csake thee? GTake it to the DLord in Gprayer

GIn His arms He'll take and Cshield thee, Gthou wilt find a Dso-lace Gthere
