BEAUTIFUL GARDEN OF PRAYER- Jenkins Family 1926 (J. H. Fillmore (music) and Eleanor Allen Schroll (words) circa 1920
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
CHORUS: 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
