A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS

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 mine eyes with tears are dim,

There is naught can yield me comfort

Like a little talk with Him.

I tell Him I am weary,

And I fain would be at rest;

But I still will wait His bidding,

For His way is always best.

Then His promise ever cheers me

‘Mid all the cares of life:—

 “I am come, and soon in glory

Will end thy toil and strife.”

Ah. that 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.

 The way is sometimes weary

To yonder nearing clime,

But a little talk with Jesus

Hath helped me many a time.

The more I come to know Him,

And all His grace explore.

It sets me ever longing

To know Him more and more.
