What a privilege to carry Ev'rything to God in prayer! Oh what peace we often forfeit, Oh what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Ev'rything 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 ev'ry 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 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.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 311 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:22 First Line: Father, how wide thy glories shine! Lyrics: Father, how wide thy glories shine! How high thy wonders rise! Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousand through the skies. Those mighty orbs proclaim thy power, Their motions speak thy skill, And on the wings of every hour We read thy patience still. But when we view thy strange design To save rebellious worms, Our souls are filled with awe divine To see what God performs. When sinners break the Father's laws, The dying Son atones; O the dear myst'ries of his cross, The triumph of his groans Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heav'nly plains; Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel's name, And try their choicest strains. O may I bear some humble part In that immortal song! Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue.
