97. Talk it Over with Jesus

1 If in the valley of trouble you dwell,
Talk it over with Jesus;
He will advise you, then all will be well;
Talk it over with Jesus.

Refrain:
Talk it over with Jesus!
Over and over with Jesus!
Make everything known,
Bear nothing alone,
Talk it over with Jesus!

2 Are you discouraged? is sorrow your guest?
Talk it over with Jesus;
Do you despair? does the tempter molest?
Talk it over with Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Does some wild tempest sweep over your soul?
Talk it over with Jesus;
All things are under his blessed control;
Talk it over with Jesus. [Refrain]

4 If you are wearing the fetters of sin,
Talk it over with Jesus;
Surely he’ll help you your freedom to win;
Talk it over with Jesus. [Refrain]
