56. Just a Word with Jesus

1 Just a word with Jesus
Before the day begins,
Just a plea for guidance
A day of blessing wins;
Just a moment’s waiting
In silence at his feet,
Just to hear him whisper
His words of counsel sweet.

Refrain:
Talk to Jesus often,
Heart to heart and face to face,
Talk to Jesus often,
And trust his sov’reign grace;
Don’t forget to praise him
For what he’s done for you,
Talk to Jesus often,
This Friend so true.

2 Just a tho’t in secret,
A little whispered pray’r
Makes the heart courageous,
And lifts a load of care;
Just a glimpse of Jesus,
To faith’s unwav’ring sight,
Turns the clouds to sunshine,
And makes the whole day bright. [Refrain]

3 Just a word with Jesus—
But how much it means
When with trust unbroken
A soul upon him leans;
Grant, O precious Savior,
Tho’ much denied may be,
We, thro’ life’s short journey,
May walk and talk with thee. [Refrain]
