E E6 E A A/C#
1 What a friend we have in Je-sus,
2 Have we trials and temp-ta-tions?
3 Are we weak and heavy la-den,
E C#m C#m7 B7
1 All our sins and griefs to bear!
2 Is there trouble any - where?
3 Cumbered with a load of care?
E E6 E A A/C#
1 What a priv-ilege to Car-ry
2 We should nev -er be dis-couraged;
3 Precious Sav -ior, still our re -fuge!
E B7 B7sus B7 E
1 Every - thing to God in prayer!
2 Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Take it to the Lord in prayer.
B7 E
1 Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
2 Can we find a friend so faithful,
3 Do thy friends despise, for-sake thee?
C#m E A E B7
1 Oh, what needless pain we bear,
2 Who will all our sor -rows share?
3 Take it to the Lord in prayer!
E E6 E E7 A A/C#
1 All be-cause we do not car - ry
2 Jesus knows our every weak - ness;
3 In His arms he'll take and shield thee;
E B7 B7sus B7 E
1 Every - thing to God in prayer.
2 Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Thou wilt find a sol - ace there.
