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.
O the beautiful garden, the garden of prayer,
O the beautiful garden of prayer,
There my Savior awaits, and he opens the gates
To the beautiful garden of prayer.
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.
There's a garden where Jesus is waiting,
O can aught with His glory compare?
Just to walk and to talk with my Savior
In the beautiful garden of prayer
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.
