Not on kalimba, bells & xylophone, harmonica: no key keeps every note on those instruments without sharps, flats or bends.
Words (first verse)
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.
