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 that 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.

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.

Verse 3

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.

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.
