Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Incipit: 55653 11651 31532 First Line: Allt för Jesus, allt för Jesus Lyrics: 1 Allt för Jesus, allt för Jesus!
Allt hos mig til lifvets slut,
Hvarje tanke, ord och gärning,
Hvarje gad och hvar minut,
Altt för Jesus! O betänk det,
Han rår om oss hvar minut,
Snart vi skåda få hans anlet'
I osäglig fröjd till slut.
2 Världen si na pärlor prisar,
Är med gyllne glitter nöjd,
Fikar efter lust och ära.
Endast Jesus är min fröjd.
Endast han skall hjärtat hafva,
Ingenting skall skilja mig
Från hans kärlek underbara,
Från hans trohet innerlig.
3 Sen jag fick min blick på Jesus,
Annat allt för mig försvann.
Han, som led för mig på korset,
Så mitt hjärtas kärlek vann.
Allt för Jesus! han min kärlek
Vunnit har till evig tid.
Gärna bär jag världens smälek,
Blott jag har i honom frid.
4 O hvad sällhet, o hvad under!
Han som herrars Herre är,
Jesus själf, sin vän mig kallar
Och uti sin famn mig bär.
Allt för Jesus! Han är värdig
Lof och pris och ära ha,
Hyllningssången, skön och härlig,
Här och uti himlarna.

Allt för Jesus!
Hvilken vän vi ha i Jesus
Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #S89 (1913) Incipit: 55653 11651 31532 Lyrics: 1 Hvilken vän vi ha i Jesus,
Han vill hjälpa och förmår,
All vår börda själf han lättar,
När vår bön til honom går.
Ack, vi ofta friden mista,
Sorg och mörker blir vår lön,
Blott för det att vi ej bära
All vår nöd till Gud i bön.
2 Har du frestelser och pröfning,
Synes lifvets kamp dig svår?
Kraft och makt du återvinner,
Om i bön till Gud du går.
Om dig vänner fly och svika,
Får du hat till kärleks lön,
Endast Jesus kan di trösta:
Bär till honom allt i bön!
3 Är ditt hjärta fullt af oro
Och ej någon tröst dig når?
Jesus är din enda tillflykt,
Tröst af honom visst du får.
I hans hulda famn du finner
Ljuflig ro och hvila skön,
Om till honom blott du ilar
Med din nöd i tro och bön. Topics: Bön; Prayer Languages: Swedish Tune Title: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E87 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Incipit: 55653 11651 31532 Lyrics: 1 What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer.
Oh, what peace we often forfeit!
Oh, what needless pains we bear!
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything 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 ev'ry weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge,--
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He'll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there. Topics: Prayer and Praise Languages: English Tune Title: WHAT A FRIEND
What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Joseph Medlicott Scriven
1819 - 1886 Person Name: Joseph Scriven Incipit: 55653 11651 31532 Author of "What A Friend We Have in Jesus/Jin Shil Ha Shin Chin Goo" in The Presbyterian Hymnal Joseph M. Scriven (b. Seapatrick, County Down, Ireland, 1819; d. Bewdley, Rice Lake, ON, Canada, 1886), an Irish immigrant to Canada, wrote this text near Port Hope, Ontario, in 1855. Because his life was filled with grief and trials, Scriven often needed the solace of the Lord as described in his famous hymn.
Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, he enrolled in a military college to prepare for an army career. However, poor health forced him to give up that ambition. Soon after came a second blow—his fiancée died in a drowning accident on the eve of their wedding in 1844. Later that year he moved to Ontario, where he taught school in Woodstock and Brantford. His plans for marriage were dashed again when his new bride-to-be died after a short illness in 1855. Following this calamity Scriven seldom had a regular income, and he was forced to live in the homes of others. He also experienced mistrust from neighbors who did not appreciate his eccentricities or his work with the underprivileged. A member of the Plymouth Brethren, he tried to live according to the Sermon on the Mount as literally as possible, giving and sharing all he had and often doing menial tasks for the poor and physically disabled. Because Scriven suffered from depression, no one knew if his death by drowning in Rice Lake was suicide or an accident.

Scriven, Joseph. Mr. Sankey, in his My Life and Sacred Songs, 1906, p. 279, says that Scriven was b. in Dublin in 1820, was a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, and went to Canada when he was 25, and died there at Port Hope, on Lake Ontario, in 1886. His hymn:—
What a Friend we have in Jesus. [Jesus our Friend] was, according to Mr. Sankey, discovered to be his in the following manner: "A neighbour, sitting up with him in his illness, happened upon a manuscript of 'What a Friend we have in Jesus.' Reading it with great delight, and questioning Mr. Scriven about it, he said he had composed it for his mother, to comfort her in a time of special sorrow, not intending any one else should see it." We find the hymn in H. 1... Hastings's Social Hymns, Original and Selected, 1865, No. 242; and his Song of Pilgrimage, 1886, No. 1291, where it is attributed to "Joseph Scriven, cir. 1855." It is found in many modern collections.

Carolyn Winfrey Gillette
b. 1961 Incipit: 55653 11651 31532 Author of "God's Great Love Is So Amazing!" in Sing the Faith Carolyn Winfrey Gillette has been a pastor in rural, small town, suburban, and city churches; she has also served as a hospice chaplain, a hospital chaplain, and a school bus aide helping children with special needs. She and her husband Bruce are pastors of the First Presbyterian Union Church in Owego, NY.
Carolyn is a gifted hymn writer who has written over 400 hymns. These hymns have been sung by congregations throughout the United States and around the world — from the Washington National Cathedral to St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland to St. George's Cathedral in Cape Town, South Africa to small town churches and small household congregations; they have also been sung at national church and international ecumenical meetings.
She has written four books: "I Sing to My Savior: New Hymns from the Stories in Luke's Gospel", "God's World is Changing: New Hymns for Advent and Christmas", "Gifts of Love: New Hymns for Today's Worship" (Geneva Press) and "Songs of Grace: New Hymns for God and Neighbo"r (Upper Room Books). Her hymns have been published in over 20 books. Two of her hymns have been published by the Choristers Guild as anthems. Carolyn was commissioned to write the lead article for the special issue on "Singing Our Lives" for Baylor University's "Christian Reflectio"n journal. Her hymns have also been in "Call to Worship" journal, "The Chorister" (cover story), "Reformed Worship," "The Presbyterian Outlook" and posted on thousands of web sites. All of her hymns can be found on her website with indices to scriptural references, topics, tunes, and the three-year cycle of the Revised Common Lectionary: http://www.carolynshymns.com
The World Council of Churches, National Council of Churches, Church World Service and Churches Uniting in Christ have asked her to write hymns. Habitat for Humanity International used a hymn by Carolyn for their 30th anniversary celebration. Family Promise (Interfaith Hospitality Network) did a music video of her hymn for their ministry with homeless families. The Humane Society of the United States did a music video contest of her hymn for their Blessing of the Animals service. The Presbyterian Church (USA) 216th General Assembly presented her with the "Ecumenical and Interreligious Service Recognition." Sojourners did a short video about her hymn writing. A Canadian scholar wrote her biography for the "Cambridge Dictionary for Hymnology."
Feature stories about Carolyn's hymns addressing concerns facing the Church, nation and world, were done by The New Yorker, The Christian Century, America, National Public Radio, national PBS-TV, and newspapers (Philadelphia Inquirer, Washington Post, New Jersey Courier Post, Delaware News Journal, and others).
Carolyn is a graduate of Lebanon Valley College and Princeton Theological Seminary. She finds joy in parish ministry, hymn writing, and most of all in her family as a wife, mother (and foster mother), grandmother, sister, and human parent to a rescue dog, "Annie."
Carolyn sees her hymn writing as a partnership and is very grateful for prayers for her hymn writing, suggestions for hymns, gifts for hymn use and commissions, and invitations to speak at conferences, workshops, and church gatherings (in person and online). She hopes her hymns nurture people in their discipleship and support churches in their worship and service in the world. Sing to the Lord a new song!
