Talking With Jesus

Hymnal: GPBC1885 #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. [Chorus] Topics: Christian Experience Languages: English Tune Title: [A little talk with Jesus]

Chorus: I’ll die no more for bread, he cried, Nor starve in foreign lands; My father’s house has large supplies, And bounteous are his hands. 2 What have I gained by sin, he said, But hunger, shame and fear? My father’s house abounds with bread, While I am starving here. [Chorus] 3 I’ll go and tell him all I’ve done, Fall down before his face, Unworthy to be called his son, I’ll seek a servant’s place. [Chorus] 4 His father saw him coming back, He saw, and ran, and smiled, And threw his arms around the neck Of his rebellious child. [Chorus] 5 Father, I’ve sinned, but O forgive! Enough! the father said; Rejoice, my house, my son’s alive, For whom I mourned as dead. [Chorus] 6 Now let the fatted calf be slain, And spread the news around; My son was dead, and lives again; Was lost, but now is found. [Chorus] 7 ‘Tis thus the Lord His love reveals, To call poor sinners home; More than a father’s love He feels, And welcomes all that come.
