Verse 1

W[G]hat a friend w[C]e have in Jesus,
[G]All our sins and [D]griefs to bear!
W[G]hat a privil[C]ege to carry
E[G]ver[D]ything to [G]God in prayer
[Am]Oh, what peace w[G]e often forfeit,
[C]Oh, wh[G]at needles[D]s pain we bear
a[G]ll because we[C] do not carry
[G]ever[D]ything to G[G]od in prayer.

Verse 2

H[G]ave we trials[C] and temptations?
[G]Is there tro[D]uble anywhere?
[G]We should nev[C]er be discouraged,
[G]Take i[D]t to the L[G]ord in prayer.
[Am]Can we find a fri[G]end so faithful?
[C]Who wi[G]ll all our [D]sorrows share?
J[G]esus knows ou[C]r every weakness,
T[G]ake i[D]t to the Lo[G]rd in prayer.

Verse 3

A[G]re we weak a[C]nd heavy laden,
C[G]umbered with [D]a load of care?
P[G]recious Savior, s[C]till our refuge
[G]Take i[D]t to the L[G]ord in prayer.
[Am]Do thy friends de[G]spise forsake thee?
T[C]ake i[G]t to the L[D]ord in prayer.
[G]In His arms He'll [C]take and shield thee,
[G]Thou wi[D]lt find a[G] solace there.

Verse 4

[G]Blessed Savior,[C] Thou hast promised
[G]Thou wilt all ou[D]r burdens bear;
[G]May we ever, [C]Lord, be bringing
[G]All to[D] Thee in e[G]arnest prayer.
[Am]Soon in glory br[G]ight, unclouded,
[C]There w[G]ill be no[D] need for prayer—
R[G]apture, praise, [C]and endless worship
W[G]ill [D]be our swee[G]t portion there.
