I Come to the Garden Alone
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'd stay in the garden with Him
Tho' the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; Thru the voice of woe,
His voice to me is calling.
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.

NOTE: I've been surprised at the number of people that have found this song here and been touched by the words, and have also had clear opinions as to which version of the music they like best. I'm ever so grateful!
It is a dear old favourite of mine from back in my early teens. I loved to think that the Lord and I would walk and talk together when I prayed. Not many people have that kind of relationship with Jesus, I could see, so I've written a novel to show what it's like. Just to give others a chance to taste this fantastic relationship vicariously!
