Couplet 1

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
And what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer

Couplet 2

Have we trials and temptations
Is there trouble anywhere
We shall never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Refrain

Precious Jesus
Lord and friend
I give everything to You
Shelter
Shepherd
Savior King
I give everything to You

Couplet 3

Are we weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care
Precious Savior still our refuge
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Do thy friends despise forsake thee
Take it to the Lord in prayer
In His arms He'll take and shield thee
Thou wilt find a solace there

Tag

Thou wilt find a solace there

Refrain

Precious Jesus
Lord and friend
I give everything to You
Shelter
Shepherd
Savior King
I give everything to You
