Author: Unknown Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.4 #127 (1894) Refrain First Line: He is altogether lovely 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 crush’d with sorrow, And my eyes with tears are dim, There is nought can yield me comfort Like a little talk with Him. Refrain: He is altogether lovely, None can with Him compare, He’s the chief among ten thousand, The fairest of the fair. 2 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 always cheers me Amid all the cares of life; “I am come and soon in glory Thou wilt end thy toil and strife.” [Refrain] 3 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. [Refrain] 4 The way is sometimes weary To yonder nearing clime, But a little talk with Jesus Has helped me many a time. The more I come to know Him, And all His grace explore, It sets me over longing To know Him more and more. [Refrain] Tune Title: [A little talk with Jesus]
