Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine! What a friend we have in Jesus Heir of salvation, purchase of God All our sins and griefs to bear Born of his Spirit, washed in His blood And what a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer This is my story, this is my song Praising my Savior all the day long Oh, what peace we often forfeit This is my story, this is my song Oh, what needless pain we bear Praising my Savior all the day long All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer Perfect submission, perfect delight Visions of rapture now burst on my sight Have we trials and temptations? Angels descending bring from above Is there trouble anywhere? Echoes of mercy, whispers of love We should never be discouraged Take it to the Lord in prayer This is my story, this is my song Praising my Savior all the day long Can we find a friend so faithful This is my story, this is my song Who will all our sorrows share? Praising my Savior all the day long Jesus knows our every weakness Praising my Savior all the day long Take it to the Lord in prayer
Perfect submission, all is at rest, Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care? I in my Savior am happy and blest; Precious Savior, still our refuge— Watching and waiting, looking above, Take it to the Lord in prayer; Filled with His goodness, lost in His love. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? This is my story, this is my song Take it to the Lord in prayer; Praising my Savior all the day long In His arms He’ll take and shield thee, This is my story, this is my song Thou wilt find a solace there. Praising my Savior all the day long Praising my Savior all the day long
