Talking With Jesus

Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #74 (1885) First Line: A little talk with Jesus Refrain First Line: O I love to talk with Jesus Lyrics: 1 A little talk with Jesus, How it smooths the rugged road; 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. Chorus: O I love to talk with Jesus, For earthly joys grow dim; And there’s naught can yield me comfort, Like a little talk with Him. 2 I know the way is dreary To that bright and happy clime; But a little talk with Jesus Will refresh me any time. And as yet the more I know Him, And His mercy I explore, Only prompts my heart to longing For a little talk the more. [Chorus] 3 I’ll tell Him I am weary, And I fain would be at rest; That I’m daily, hourly longing For a home upon His breast. Once He gave His life a ransom, And would have me all His own, Can He now forget His promise, And reject His purchased one? [Chorus] 4 I’ll wait a little longer,— Till His own appointed time; And will glory in the knowledge Of a prospect so sublime. Then, when in my Father’s dwelling, Where the many “mansions” are, I will sweetly talk with Jesus, And forever dwell up there.
