  1. 1There’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 gatesTo the beautiful garden of prayer.
  2. 2There’s a garden where Jesus is waiting,And I go with my burden and care,Just to learn from His lips words of comfortIn 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 gatesTo the beautiful garden of prayer.
  3. 3There’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.O the beautiful garden, the garden of prayer,O the beautiful garden of prayer,There my Savior awaits, and He opens the gatesTo the beautiful garden of prayer.
  4. 4There’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.O the beautiful garden, the garden of prayer,O the beautiful garden of prayer,There my Savior awaits, and He opens the gatesTo the beautiful garden of prayer.
