Product Description

This new setting of the familiar hymn "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" is introspective and meditative. The text of this hymn was written by Joseph Medlicott Scriven (1855). Mr. Scriven had composed the poem for his mother, to comfort her in a time of special sorrow, not intending for anyone else to see it.  The idea that Jesus is a friend to whom we can truly bear our sorrow and griefs is one of great comfort to all. 

This arrangement attempts to capture the idea of comfort. The murmuring piano accompaniment that continues throughout the piece sets the mood.  Suitable for worship services or personal worship.


Duration: approx. 4 minutes
Appropriate for: Prayer, Comfort, Grief, Personal Holiness
Scripture: Philippians 4:6-7
