I come to the Garden alone

Isn't there something just so sweet and tender about a rose in your garden?

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.


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.
"In the Garden" C. Austin Miles

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As we meet and touch, each day,
The many travellers on our way,
Let every such brief contact be
A glorious, helpful ministry;
The contact of the soil and seed,
Each giving to the other's need,
Each helping on the other's best,
And blessing, each, as well as blest.
~ S. Coolidge

I also luv roses. I luv the In The Garden hymn too. It's been a long time since I've heard that hymn. Might try and find a rendition now. Thank you.

My husband just brought in my last three roses. I always think of this song when I look at roses. I love being in the "garden" alone with Jesus.

Blessings,
Pamela

Oh loved this post!! And the hymn was a sweet reminder of a southern country church I attended as a child. (Visiting from Spiritual Sunday this morning!)
