Lyrics

In the gar­den, in the gar­den of Je­sus our Sav­ior,
We are grow­ing, we are grow­ing for Je­sus alone.

Refrain

Like the flow’rs of the morn­ing His gar­den adorn­ing,
We are grow­ing for Je­sus, His loved and His own.

Little child­ren, lit­tle child­ren are the flow’rs in His gar­den,
We must blos­som, we must blos­som, for Je­sus alone.

Refrain

Jesus loves us, Je­sus loves us, the flow’rs of His gar­den;
He will keep us, He will keep us, nor leave us alone.

Refrain

We must love Him, we must love Him, this Je­sus our Sav­ior,
We must trust Him, we must trust Him, in Je­sus alone.
