- I 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.
- Refrain:
- 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.
- He 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.
- Refrain
- I'd stay in the garden with him
- Tho the night around me be falling;
- But he bids me go; thro' the voice of woe,
- His voice to me is calling.
- Refrain
