Product Description
This easy level arrangement of What a Friend We Have in Jesus is written for Voice and Piano, with chord symbols and full lyrics included in the score, making it ideal for beginner singers and pianists, teachers, churches, and educational settings. The hymn was written by Joseph M. Scriven (1855) with music by Charles C. Converse, and is one of the most beloved Christian hymns of all time, widely used in worship services, hymnals, and devotional repertoire.
In this setting, the vocal line presents the complete main melody in a comfortable range suitable for congregational and solo singing, while the piano provides a supportive and easy accompaniment appropriate for students. The chord symbols reinforce harmonic understanding and allow optional accompaniment by guitar or ensemble. The calm, prayerful, and devotional character of the hymn is fully preserved, making it suitable for church services, teaching, recitals, and personal study.
