1 While fighting for my Saviour here,
The tempter tries me hard;
He uses all his mighty pow’r,
My progress to retard,
He’s up to ev’ry more,
And yet thro’ all I prove
A little talk with Jesus make it right, all right.

Refrain:
A little talk with Jesus make it right, all right;
A little talk with Jesus make it right, all right.
In tri’ls of ev’ry kind,
Praise God, I always find
A little talk with Jesus make it right, all right.

2 Tho’ dark the night, and clouds look black
And stormy overhead;
And tri’ls of almost ev’ry kind
Across my pathway spread,
How soon I conquer all,
As to the Lord I call;
A little talk with Jesus make it right, all right. [Refrain]

3 When those who once were dearest friends,
Begin to persecute;
And more who once profess’d to love,
Have silent grown, and mute;
I tell Him all my grief,
He quickly sends relief;
A little talk with Jesus make it right, all right. [Refrain]

4 And thus, by frequent little talks I gain the victory,
And march along with cheerful song,
Enjoying liberty,
With Jesus as my Friend,
I’ll prove until the end,
A little talk with Jesus make it right, all right. [Refrain]
