Representative Text

1 All the burdens once so heavy,
Light and easy seem to be;
In my soul is heaven’s sunshine
When my Savior talks with me.

Refrain:
In my heart a song is ringing,
Earth like heaven seems to be;
Life new joy to me is bringing
When my Savior talks with me.

2 Should my courage sometimes falter,
Still by faith His pow’r I see;
In my heart His words I’m hiding
When my Savior talks with me. [Refrain]

3 In my soul is peace and gladness,
Through His boundless grace so free;
Not a friend seems half so precious
When my Savior talks with me. [Refrain]

4 Not one promise has He broken,
Faithful to is trust is He;
Joy is mine beyond all measure
When my Savior talks with me. [Refrain]
