Malayalam version of this song: Enthu Nallor Sakhi Yeshu (എന്തു നല്ലോർ സഖി യേശു)

E                        A
What a friend we have in Jesus,
E                          B
All our sins and griefs to bear!
E                   A
What a privilege to carry
E             B      E
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
B7                    E
O what peace we often forfeit,
A      E        F#m     Bsus  B
O what needless pain we bear,
E                     A
All because we do not carry
E    B               E
Ev'rything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?
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 prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Jesus only is 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.
