There’s a sacred
and hallowed retreat,
Where my soul finds
a fellowship sweet,
Where the Lord
of my life I may meet,
In the garden of my heart.
In the cool of the day
He walks with me,
In the rose bordered way
He talks with me;
In love’s holy union,
And sacred communion,
In the garden of my heart.
There is naught
can disturb or molest,
There my spirit
finds comfort and rest,
And my soul is
no longer distressed
In the garden of my heart.
In the cool of the day
He walks with me,
In the rose bordered way
He talks with me;
In love’s holy union,
And sacred communion,
In the garden of my heart.
Shut away from earth’s strife
and its din,
And protected from
soul staining sin,
For my Savior is dwelling within,
In the garden of my heart.
In the cool of the day
He walks with me,
In the rose bordered way
He talks with me;
In love’s holy union,
And sacred communion,
In the garden of my heart.
There the dove of sweet peace
always sings,
And my faith ever trustingly clings;
And the chime
of sweet happiness rings
In the garden of my heart.
In the cool of the day
He walks with me,
In the rose bordered way
He talks with me;
In love’s holy union,
And sacred communion,
In the garden of my heart.
