Composed by Charles C. Converse and Joseph M. Scriven. Arranged by MissoRB. This edition: pdf. 19th Century, Gospel, Spiritual, Traditional. 3 pages. MissoRB #1377499. Published by MissoRB (A0.1817362).This easy level arrangement of What a Friend We Have in Jesus is written for Violin and Piano, with chord symbols and full lyrics included in the score, making it ideal for beginner and early-intermediate players, 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 duo setting, the violin carries the complete main melody entirely in first position using simple rhythms and stepwise melodic motion that support intonation and expressive phrasing, while the piano provides a supportive and easy accompaniment suitable for students. The chord symbols reinforce harmonic understanding and allow optional accompaniment by guitar, voice, or ensemble. The calm, prayerful, and devotional character of the hymn is fully preserved, making it suitable for student duets, church services, teaching, and personal study.
