How it seems to help me onward, When I faint beneath my load; When my heart is crushed with sorrow, And my eyes with tears are dim, There is naught can yield me comfort Like a little talk with Him. Refrain: A little talk with Him, A little talk with Him, There's naught can yield me comfort Like a little talk with Him. 2 Ah, this is what I'm wanting, His lovely face to see; And I'm not afraid to say it, I know He's wanting me. He gave His life a ransom, To make me all His own, And He'll ne'er forget His promise To me, His purchased one. [Refrain] 3 I cannot live without Him, Nor would I if I could; He is my daily portion, My comforter and food. He is altogether lovely; None can with Him compare; The chiefest of ten thousand, And fairest of the fair. [Refrain] 4 So I'll wait a little longer, Till His appointed time, And along the upward pathway, My pilgrim feet shall climb. There, in my Father's dwelling, Where many mansions be, I shall sweetly talk with Jesus, And He will talk with me. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Just a little talk with Jesus]
