Concerning Conversing

"And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus Himself drew near, and went with them.... And He said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?" (Luke 24:15,17).

What manner of communication
With each other have we had?
Now are we speaking of salvation,
Cheering those whose hearts are sad?

As our Savior now draws near,
Listening to our interaction,
Will the talk that He will hear
Bless His heart with satisfaction?

Let this be the faithful measure
Judging what we think and say:
If it won't give Jesus pleasure,
Cast that thought and word away.
