[FemaleDog00]

This makes me want to go to church and read the bible. This makes me want to believe in God.

Thank you so much for posting this. I used to have this album for so many years. My dad bought it for me back in '75. Thanks again.

Beautiful song sung by a beautiful soul.

I bought this hymn book off ebay. The companion album was a compilation. This version first appeared on his Nearer the Cross album. He recorded this wonderful song and many other hymns more than once.

[paulboon]

one of the very best voices singing one of the best gospel songs so lovely

[pistolpete1911a1]

This brought me to tears the very first verse. I know God tells us not to dwell on the past, but I miss the old days so much.GOD please bless this country again and bring us close to you once more.

@pistolpete1911a1 Amen. It is hard to even recognize America anymore. Don't worry though friend...it is all in his plan. Nothing happens that he doesn't allow and there are no surprises to him. Look forward to the day that the saved souls reside with Christ in a Heavenly abode and leave this wicked world behind.

One of the greatest voices of all time.

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.

[LouisLeeKH]

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.

[LouisLeeKH]

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 Hell take and shield you; you will find a solace there.

[LouisLeeKH]

Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear

May we ever, Lord, be bringing all to Thee in earnest prayer.

Soon in glory bright unclouded there will be no need for prayer

Rapture, praise and endless worship will be our sweet portion there.

[ejeff626]

Beautiful voice.
