AmOh, what peace we often foGrfeit,

COh, what nGeedless pain we bDear

GIs there trouble anyDwhere?

GWe should never be discCouraged,

GTake it Dto the Lord in pGrayer.

AmCan we find a friend so fGaithful?

CWho will aGll our sorrows shDare?

JGesus knows our every weaCkness,

TGake it Dto the Lord in praGyer.

CuGmbered with a load of cDare?

PGrecious Savior, still our rCefuge

GTake it Dto the Lord in pGrayer.

AmDo thy friends despise forsGake thee?

TCake it tGo the Lord in pDrayer.
