A piano and organ duet arranged for the Sierra Vista
United Methodist Church (SVUMC) from the United
Methodist Church Hymnal #526. "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.
