1 When you are weary at heart and distressed,
Longing for comfort, by sorrow oppressed;
Burdened with sinning and finding no rest,
Talk it over with Jesus.

Refrain:
Talk it over, talk it over,
Talk it over with Jesus;
Life will be sweeter and joy fill your way,
Talk it over with Jesus.

2 Tho’ others fail you, He’s always the same,
Ever His wonderful love you can claim,
Strength for your weakness, O praise His dear name!
Talk it over with Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Life will be sweeter, and light fill your way,
If you are walking with Him, day by day;
Though doubts assail you, keep trusting and pray,
Talk it over with Jesus. [Refrain]
