“What A Friend We Have In Jesus is a beautiful spiritual number that is right at home in the Trad. or Function band’s repertoire. Originally written in 1855 as a poem and put to music in 1868 it talks of comfort in faith: “”Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge; Take it to the Lord in prayer.””
Our arrangement features the band on the melody before the vocalist takes over for their choice of verses (with the band lightly in the background). Open solos allow you to keep it short or enjoy the easy ramble of this classic tune.”
