[Verse 1]
[D]What a friend

[D]What a [G]privilage to carry[D]
Ev'rything [A]to God in pray[D]er!

[Verse 2]
[A]Oh, what peace we often [D]forfeit,
[G]Oh, what [D]needless pain we [A]bear,[E][A]
[D]All because we do not [G]carry
[D]Ev'rything to [A]God in pray
[D]er!

[Verse 3]
[D]Have we trials and [G]temptations?
[D]Is there trouble any[A]where?
[D]We should never be dis[G]couraged,
[D]Take it to the [A]Lord [D]in [A]prayer:

[Verse 4]
Can we [A]find a friend so [D]faithful
[G]Who will [D]all our sorrows [A]share?[E][A]
[D]Jesus knows our every [G]weakness,
[D]Take it to the [A]Lord in pray
[D]er.

[Verse 5]
[D]Are we weak and heavy [G]laden,[D]
Cumbered with a load of [A]care?
[D]Precious Saviour, still our [G]refuge;
[D]Take it to the [A]Lord [D]in [A]pra[D]yer[A]:

[Verse 6]
Do the [A]friends despise, [D]forsake thee?
[G]Take it [D]to the Lord [A]in [E]pra[A]yer[D];
In His arms He'll take and
[G]shield thee;
And you will find a solace there.

[Verse 7]
And [D]you will find [A]a solace there...
[D][G][D]
