1.耶稣是我最好朋友，
负我罪过担我忧，
何等权利能将万事，
带到上帝面前求。
多少平安屡屡失去，
多少痛苦白白受，
皆因未将各样事情，
带到上帝面前求。
2.我们有无试探引诱，
有无烦恼压心头？
切莫因此灰心失望，
仍当到主面前求。
何处有此忠信朋友，
同尝一切苦与愁？
我们弱点祂都知道，
放心到主面前求。
3.我们是否软弱多愁，
顾虑重担压肩头？
上帝乃是避难处所，
只管到主面前求。
若有亲友厌你弃你，
仍须到主面前求，
投祂怀中祂必保护，
有主安慰便无忧。
1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!
2 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 every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
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 your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.
