What a friend we have in Jesus

"What a Friend We Have in Jesus" is a Christian hymn originally written by Joseph M. Scriven as a poem in 1855 to comfort his mother who was living in Ireland while he was in Canada. Scriven originally published the poem anonymously, and only received full credit for it in the 1880s.[1] The tune to the hymn was composed by Charles Crozat Converse in 1868. William Bolcom composed a setting of the hymn. The hymn also has many versions with different lyrics in multiple languages, such as the Japanese version "Itsukushimi Fukaki" (いつくしみ深き, "Itsukushimi Fukaki"? lit. "Deep Affection")

Incredibly beautiful..!

This a great version; the best I've heard.

Thank you, cannanoptical.

Just a couple of questions for you.

1. Do you know who the singer is?

2. The orchestra and arrangement?

God bless.

@Boniatus

Thank you for taking the time to comment. Thank YOU, rather. And welcome.

I'm sorry, the casing that this CD comes in does not contain much info. I've e-mailed the producer whose e-mail address appears on the jacket, but there was no reply.

God's blessings chase after and overtake you
