In 1939, Jerome Kern's timeless composition 'All the Things You Are' captured hearts with its poignant lyrics penned by Oscar Hammerstein II. This classic ballad was first introduced on stage within the musical production 'Very Warm for May.' As a testament to its enduring appeal, it has since been featured in various forms of media including Broadway productions and motion pictures.

One notable instance is when Ginny Simms brought this soulful number to life during her performance in the 1944 film 'Broadway Rhythm.' Later on, till the clouds rolled by once more (a reference to Kern's own biographical tribute), another iteration was presented for audiences everywhere through a different cast member(s) yet unnamed at present time title TBD.

In contrast lies Joseph M. Scriven’s beautiful hymn titled 'What A Friend We Have In Jesus.' The lyrics beautifully express gratitude towards the Lord who carries all our burdens with love and care. This powerful message continues to comfort souls today, reminding us of His presence in times both dark and light.

Both 'All the Things You Are' by Jerome Kern & Oscar Hammerstein II along side 'What A Friend We Have In Jesus' demonstrate how music has an incredible ability to touch hearts across generations through its universal themes. Whether it be finding solace or celebrating love, these timeless classics remind us of God's unwavering presence always watching over each one of us - a truly comforting thought indeed.

The lyrics from 'What A Friend We Have In Jesus' beautifully capture this sentiment:

'Oh what peace we often forfeit

Oh what needless pain we bear,

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer.'

In conclusion, these classic songs serve as powerful reminders that regardless of life's challenges or tribulations, there is always hope found when we turn towards the Lord for comfort and strength. As expressed so eloquently through their timeless words:

'Carry each other’s burdens,

And thus fulfill the law of Christ.' Galatians 6:2 (NIV)
