[Verse 1] 

D                        G         D                         A

What a Friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! 

D                   G      D       A           D

What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! 

A                     D         G          D            A

O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, 

D                     G       D      A           D

All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer! 

 

[Verse 2] 

D                      G            D                 A

Have we trials and temptations?  Is there trouble anywhere? 

D                  G               D        A              D

We should never be discouraged, take it to the Lord in prayer. 

A                       D         G           D              A

Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share? 

D                    G          D         A             D

Jesus know our every weakness, take it to the Lord in prayer. 

 

[Verse 3] 

D                      G         D                     A

Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? 

D                          G          D        A          D

Precious Savior, still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer. 

A                        D             G         D             A

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer. 

D                           G           D            A            D

In His arms He'll take and shield thee, thou wilt find a solace there.
