一 何等朋友，我主耶穌！擔我罪孽負我憂；
何等權利，能將難處到主面前去祈求。
多少平安屢屢喪失，多少痛苦無須受；
無非我們未將萬事到主面前去祈求。
二 我們有否苦難、艱辛？有否試探和引誘？
不能因此失望、灰心，應當向主去祈求。
誰能像祂忠實、穩妥，背我重擔分我愁？
惟祂知我每一輭弱，故當向主去祈求。
三 我們是否疲倦，苦楚、思慮、重擔壓心頭？
救主仍舊是避難處，應當向祂去祈求。
朋友有否賣你、棄你？應當向主去祈求；
祂的懷抱是你護庇，經祂撫慰必無憂。
1. What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Every thing to God in pray'r!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in pray'r!
2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in pray'r.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in pray'r.
3. Are we weak and heavy-laden.
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge -
Take it to the Lord in pray'r.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in pray'r.
In His arms He'll take and shield thee.
Thou wilt find a solace there.
