Sheet music
- 1I 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.
- 2He 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.
- 3I’d stay in the garden with Him,Tho’ the night around me be falling,But He bids me go; Thru the voice of woeHis 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.
