I Come to the Garden Alone
Verse 1
I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses;
And the voice I hear,
Falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses.
While the dew is still on the roses;
And the voice I hear,
Falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses.
Refrain
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
Verse 2
He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody
That He gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing.
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody
That He gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing.
Verse 3
I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go;
Through the voice of woe,
His voice to me is calling.
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go;
Through the voice of woe,
His voice to me is calling.
