all our sins and griefs to bear

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 

ev'rything to God in prayer.


is there trouble anywhere?

We should 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 ev'ry weakness, 

take it to the Lord in pray'r.


cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Saviour still our refuge, 

take it to the Lord in prayer.

Do thy friends despise, 

forsake thee? 

Take it to the Lord in pray'r.

In his arms 

he'll take and shield thee, 

thou will find a solace there.
