Added 10/16/2000 I just discovered an earlier but identical version in Gospel Song Messenger, Edited and Published by R. E. Winsett, East Chattanooga, Tenn., 1914. Even at that earlier date it was attributed to Anon. and Arranged. A Little Talk
by anon and arranged!
Though dark the night and clouds look black And stormy overhead,
And trials of almost every kind Across my path are spread;
How soon I conquer all, As to the Lord I call,
A little talk with Jesus makes it right, all right.
chorus
A little talk with Jesus makes it right, all right,
A little talk with Jesus makes it right, all right,
In trials of ev'ry kind, Praise God I always find,
A little talk with Jesus makes it right, all right
When those who once were dearest friends Begin to persecute,
And those who once professed to love Have silent grown and mute;
I tell him all my grief, He quickly sends relief,
A little talk with Jesus makes it right, all right.
chorus twice
And thus by frequent little talks I gain the victory,
And march along with cheerful song, Enjoying the liberty;
With Jesus as my friend, I'll prove until the end,
A little talk with Jesus makes it right, all right.
chorus
This song was recorded by Ernest Phipps and his Holiness Singers as A Little Talk With Jesus in 1928. A REMINDER, If you like what you hear, then consider buying the CD which it came from, The Music Of Kentucky, Vol. 1, Yazoo 2013, 1995. The song will download completely before playing.
