What a privilege to carry

1 What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
2 Are we weak and heavy laden?
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Have we trials and temptations?
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
4 Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
5 Precious Savior, still our refuge!
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Notes: | Responsive refrain to reading of Psalm 41. Tone included for chanting. This psalm may be spoken or chanted with a single refrain or with a series of phrases from the hymn “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” The final verse of doxology is a conclusion not only of this psalm, but, more significantly, also marks the end of Book 1 of the Psalter. The double amen should be the final word. |
