Charles C Converse-What a Friend We Have in Jesus钢琴简谱

《What a Friend We Have in Jesus》，中文《恩友歌》或作《耶稣恩友》，是一首基督教赞美诗，词作者为Joseph M. Scriven。身为游子的史克来芬，于1855年，在加拿大写给远在家乡爱尔兰的母亲的一封家信中夹了一首亲手写的赞美诗，以表对母亲的安慰。

最初这首诗是以匿名发表，然而直到30多年后，它才受到人们的赏识。1868年，一位美国律师Charles C. Converse（同时为当地教堂的颂歌作曲也是他的工作之一）为其谱曲。美国著名作曲家、钢琴家威廉•埃尔登•博尔科姆也有为这首圣歌配过乐。

What a Friend We Have in Jesus歌词：

What a friend we have in Jesus All our sins and griefs to bear What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer Oh, what peace we often forfeit Oh, 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 Jesus tell him
