Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
I come to the garden aloneWhile the dew is still on the rosesAnd the voice I hear, falling on my earThe son of God disclosesAnd he walks with meAnd he talks with meAnd he tells me I am his ownAnd the joy we share as we tarry thereNone other has ever knownI’d stay in the garden with himThough the night around me is fallingBut he bids me goThrough the voice of woeHis voice to me is callingAnd he walks with meAnd he talks with meAnd he tells me I am his ownAnd the joy we share as we tarry thereNone other has ever knownAnd the joy we share as we tarry thereNone other has ever known
