11. With Jesus is Best

1 Come where the fountains are flowing,
And the lilies ever bloom;
Come where the sun is ever shining,
And the flowers shed their sweet perfume.

Refrain:
For a desert is a garden fair,
If Jesus makes His dwelling there,
And a lowly cottage here a palace will appear,
If He is my Guest.
But a garden is a desert bare,
If He is not abiding there;
So, anywhere, yes, anywhere
With Jesus is best.

2 Come where the blest Rose of Sharon
Is the fairest of the field;
Come where the blessings of redemption
Unto all its choicest fruits will yield. [Refrain]

3 Stay not in valleys of shadow
When the mountains bid you come,
Climb up and never, never falter,
‘Til you reach the portals of your home. [Refrain]
