Words and Music by Joseph Scriven, Charles Converse, Helen Lemmel
A Cappella Arrangement by David Wesley

Both of these classic hymns have been part of my life since childhood. They fit together so well that they were practically begging for a medley/mashup treatment. Taking a 3/4 song and a 4/4 song by transforming them both into a 6/8 doo-wop shuffle was a challenge, but totally worth it.

I'm not sure when I realized it, but I've lived within a half-hour drive of the gravesite/memorial for Joseph Scriven's (lyricist of What a Friend We Have in Jesus) for 14 years! Watch to the end of the video for footage of my visit there.
