1 In the dear Lord’s garden,
Planted here below,
Many tiny flowerets,
In sweet beauty grow.

Refrain:
Jesus calls the children,
Bids them come and stand
In His pleasant garden,
Watered by His hand.

2 Christ, the loving Gardener,
Tends these blossoms small;
Loves the little lilies
As the cedars tall. [Refrain]

3 Lord, Thy call we answer
Take us in Thy care;
Train us in Thy garden,
In Thy work to share. [Refrain]
