A little Talk with Jesus

Hymnal: Junior Songs #31 (1892) 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. 2 Ah, this 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. 3 I cannot live without him, Nor would I if I could; He is my daily portion, My medicine and food. He is altogether lovely; None can with him compare; Chiefest among ten thousand, And fairest of the fair. 4 So I'll wait a little longer, Till his appointed time, And along the upward pathway My pilgrim feet shall climb. There, in my Father's dwelling, Where many mansions be, I shall sweetly talk with Jesus, And he will talk with me. Languages: English Tune Title: [A little talk with Jesus]

W. G. Fischer

1835 - 1912 Person Name: W. G. F. Author of "A Little Talk With Jesus" in The Best Gospel Songs and their composers William Gustavus Fischer In his youth, William G. Fischer (b. Baltimore, MD, 1835; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1912) developed an interest in music while attending singing schools. His career included working in the book bindery of J. B. Lippencott Publishing Company, teaching music at Girard College, and co-owning a piano business and music store–all in Philadelphia. Fischer eventually became a popular director of music at revival meetings and choral festivals. In 1876 he conducted a thousand-voice choir at the Dwight L. Moody/Ira D. Sankey revival meeting in Philadelphia. Fischer composed some two hundred tunes for Sunday school hymns and gospel songs. Bert Polman

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "A little talk with Jesus" in Good-Will Songs In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
