What a friend we have in Jesus
Author: J. M. Scriven (1819-1886) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,692 hymnals Topics: Christ the Friend of Sinners Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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.
3 Are we weak and heavy-laden,
burdened with a load of care?
Jesus is our mighty saviour:
he will listen to our prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
take it to the Lord in prayer;
in his arms he will enfold you
and his love will shield you there. Used With Tune: BLAENWERN
What a friend we have in Jesus
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy
Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,462 hymnals Topics: Christ Receives Sinners Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love, and power;
He is able,
He is able,
He is willing: doubt no more.
2 Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him;
This he gives you;
This he gives you;
'Tis the Spirit's rising beam.
3 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all.
Not the righteous,
Not the righteous,
Sinners, Jesus came to call.
4 View Him prostrate in the garden,
Lo! your Maker prostrate lies;
On the bloody tree behold Him;
Hear Him cry before He dies:
"It is finished!"
"It is finished!"
Sinner, will not this suffice?
5 Lo! th' incarnate God ascended
Pleads the merit of His blood;
Venture on Him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude:
None but Jesus,
None but Jesus,
Can do helpless sinners good. Used With Tune: RESIGNATION
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy

EVENING PRAISE
Jesus sinners doth receive!
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #182 (1898) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: Christ Receives Sinners Lyrics: 1 Jesus sinners doth receive!
Let the lost and sorrowing hear it;
Though in sin and shame they grieve,
And Jehovah's anger merit,
Here's what can their woe relieve:
Jesus sinners doth receive.
2 No such mercy can we claim;
But our blessed Lord hath spoken;
He hath sworn by His great Name,
And His Word cannot be broken.
Heaven is open! O believe
Jesus sinners doth receive.
3 As the shepherd seeks to find
His lost sheep that from him strayeth,
So hath Christ each soul in mind,
And for its salvation prayeth;
Fain He'd have each wanderer live:
Jesus sinners doth receive.
4 Come, then, all by guilt oppressed,
Jesus calls, and He would make you
God's own children, pure and blest,
And to glory He would take you;
Think on this, and well believe
Jesus sinners doth receive.
5 In my grief I now draw near,
All my sinfullness confessing;
Saviour, my petition hear,
Grant me parden and Thy blessing;
Help, O help me to believe
Jesus sinners doth receive.
6 Cheered at thought of peace with God,
Darkness yields to hopeful brightness
Through the merit of Thy blood
Scarlet sins are turned to whiteness
As I say, and now believe,
Jesus sinners doth receive!
7 Now my conscience is at peace;
From the Law I stand acquitted;
Christ hath purchased my release,
And my every sin remitted.
Naught remains my soul to grieve:
Jesus sinners doth receive.
8 Jesus sinners doth receive,
Me hath taken to His favor,
Opened heaven that I may live
With my Lord at home for ever;
And in death this joy I have:
Jesus sinners doth receive.

Felice Giardini
1716 - 1796 Person Name: Felice Giardini (1716-1796) Topics: Sinners Coming to Christ Composer of "ATHENS" in Songs of Praise with Tunes Felice Giardini, born in Italy. When young, he studied singing, harpsichord, and violin. He became a composer and violin virtuoso. By age 12 he was playing in theatre orchestras. His most instructive lesson: While playing a solo passage during an opera, he decided to show off his skills by improvising several bravura variations that the composer, Jommelli, had not written . Although the audience applauded loudly, Jomelli, who happened to be there, went up and slapped Giardini in the face. He learned a lesson from that. He toured Europe as a violinist, considered one of the greatest musical artists of his time. He served as orchestra leader and director of the Italian Opera in London, giving concerts. He tried to run a theatre in Naples, but encountered adversity. He went to Russia, but had little fortune there, where he died.

An amateur composer, Doane wrote over twenty-two hundred hymn and gospel song tunes, and he edited over forty songbooks.

===================
Doane, W. H. (William Howard), born in Preston, Connecticut, 1831, and educated for the musical profession by eminent American and German masters. He has had for years the superintendence of a large Baptist Sunday School in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he resides. Although not a hymnwriter, the wonderful success which has attended his musical setting of numerous American hymns, and the number of his musical editions of hymnbooks for Sunday Schools and evangelistic purposes, bring him within the sphere of hymnological literature. Amongst his collections we have:—
(1) Silver Spray, 1868; (2) Pure Gold, 1877; (3) Royal Diadem, 1873; (4) Welcome Tidings, 1877; (5) Brightest and Best, 1875; (6) Fountain of Song; (7) Songs of Devotion, 1870; (8) Temple Anthems, &c.
