39. The beautiful garden of prayer

1 There's a garden where Jesus is waiting.
There's a place that is wondrously fair,
For it glows with the light of His presence,
'Tis the beautiful garden of prayer.

Refrain
Oh, the beautiful garden, the garden of prayer!
OH, the beautiful garden of prayer1
There my Saviour awaits, and He opens the gates
To the beautiful garden of prayer.

2 There's a garden where Jesus is waiting,
And I go with my burden and care,
Just to learn from His lips words of comfort
In the beautiful garden of prayer. [Refrain]

3 There's a garden where Jesus is waiting,
And He bids you to come, meet Him there;
Just to bow and receive a new blessing
In the beautiful garden of prayer. [Refrain]
