That is another Don Besig and Nancy Price gem. I'm not sure, but the anthem title may be "What a Friend."
Shawnee Press (old Glory Sound) owns their anthems, I believe. I'm not sure that this one is still available, though. Sad, because it was so good.
I think the starting lyrics are a bit different...
[but that's solely from distant memory. I can't find my old sheet music for this. Our small church choir sang this to rave comments.]
...
Ask the Lord to help you;
He will keep you as his own.
[Soprano + Alto duet next...]
With a heart that's always open,
With a love that knows no end,
Everywhere life leads you,
He's your master and your friend.
[Then into What a Friend we have in Jesus]
[Then both melodies and lyrics together -- another Besig & Price signature composition]
Absolutely beautiful!
