Verse 1:
[A#]What a friend we have in [Em]Jesus,
[A#]All our sins and griefs to [Db]bear!
[A#]What a privilege to [Em]carry
[A#] [Db]Everything to God in [A#]prayer
[Eb]Oh, what peace we often [A#]forfeit,
[Em]Oh, what [A#]needless pain we [Db]bear
[A#]all because we do not [Em]carry
[A#] [Db]everything to God in [A#]prayer.

Verse 2:
[A#]Have we trials and [Em]temptations?
[A#]Is there trouble [Db]anywhere?
[A#]We should never be [Em]discouraged,
[A#]Take it [Db]to the Lord in [A#]prayer.
[Eb]Can we find a friend so [A#]faithful?
[Em]Who will [A#]all our sorrows [Db]share?
[A#]Jesus knows our every [Em]weakness,
[A#]Take it [Db]to the Lord in [A#]prayer.

Verse 3:
[A#]Are we weak and heavy [Em]laden,
[A#]Cumbered with a load of [Db]care?
[A#]Precious Savior, still our [Em]refuge
[A#]Take it [Db]to the Lord in [A#]prayer.
[Eb]Do thy friends despise [A#]forsake thee?
[Em]Take it [A#]to the Lord in [Db]prayer.
[A#]In His arms He'll take and [Em]shield thee,
[A#]Thou wilt [Db]find a solace [A#]there.

Verse 4:
[A#]Blessed Savior, Thou hast [Em]promised
[A#]Thou wilt all our burdens [Db]bear;
[A#]May we ever, Lord, be [Em]bringing
[A#]All to [Db]Thee in earnest [A#]prayer.
[Eb]Soon in glory bright, [A#]unclouded,
[Em]There will [A#]be no need for [Db]prayer—
[A#]Rapture, praise, and endless [Em]worship
[A#]Will be [Db]our sweet portion [A#]there.⠀⠀
