A little talk to Jesus, how it soothes the rugged road; How it seems to help me, as I faint beneath my load. When my heart is crushed with sorrow, and my eyes with tears are dim; There is nought that yield me comfort like a little talk with Him. I tell Him I am weary, and I fain to be at rest; Daily, hourly longing for a home upon His breast. He answers me so sweetly, in tones of tender love; “I am coming soon to take thee to the father’s home above”. For this is what I’m waiting, His lovely face to see; I am not afraid to say it, as I know He’s awaiting me. He gave his life for ransom, to make me all his own; He can’t forget His promise, to me His purchased one. I know the way is dreary, to the yonder far-off climb; But a little talk with Jesus will while away the time. Yet the more I get to know Him, and His grace explore, It only sets me longing to know Him more and more. I cannot live without Him, and nor would I if I could; He is my daily portion, my medicine and food. He is altogether lovely, none can with Him compare; He is chief among ten thousand, the fairest of the fair. I often feel impatience, and mourn His long delay; I never can be settled while He remains away. We shall not long be parted, for I know He’ll quickly come; And we shall live together, in that ever happy home. And in my Father’s presence, where many mansions be; I’ll sweetly talk with Jesus, and He will talk with me.
