What a Friend We Have in Jesus(zt) 2012-11-17 14:59:39

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Joseph M. Scriven

 

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.

Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He'll take and shield you; you will find a solace there.

Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing all to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright unclouded there will be no need for prayer
Rapture, praise and endless worship will be our sweet portion there.

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” ( John 15:13)

 

Irish born Joseph M. Scriven (1819-1896) was 25 years old, in love and to be married. The day

before his wedding his fiance died in a tragic drowning accident. Heartbroken, Joseph sailed

from his homeland to start a new life in Canada. While in Canada working as a teacher, he fell in

love again and became engaged to Eliza Roche, a relative of one of his students. Once again,

Joseph's hopes and dreams were shattered when Eliza became ill and died before the wedding

could take place.

Although one can only imagine the turmoil within this young man, history tells us that his faith

in God sustained him. Soon after Eliza's death Joseph joined the Plymouth Brethren and began

preaching for a Baptist church. He never married, but spent the remainder of his life giving all

his time, money and even the clothes off his own back to help the less fortunate and to spread

the love and compassion of Jesus wherever he went.

Around the same time that Eliza died, Joseph received word from Ireland that his mother was ill.

He could not go to be with her, so he wrote a letter of comfort and enclosed one of his poems

entitled What a Friend We Have in Jesus.

Many years later a friend was sitting with Joseph, as he was very ill. During this visit, the friend

was very impressed when he ran across his poems, including What a Friend We Have in Jesus.

As a result of this visit, almost 30 years after his letter of comfort to his mother, Joseph's poems

were published in a book called Hymns and Other Verses. Soon thereafter, noted musician

Charles C. Converse (1834-1918) put music to one of those poems: What a Friend We Have

in Jesus.

Well-known musician and revivalist Ira D. Sankey (1840-1908) was a great admirer of Joseph

Scriven. In 1875, Sankey came upon the music and words for What a Friend We Have in Jesus.

He included it as the last entry into his well-known publication Sankey's Gospel Hymns

Number 1.
