In the gar­den, in the gar­den of Je­sus our Sav­ior,
He will keep me, I know, al­ways hap­py and free,
So ear­nest­ly sow­ing, sow­ing,
To the land of pro­mise fair;
And is not trust­ing in walls and tow­ers,
start
But souls new born arise—
Far be­yond the set­ting sun:
Thy Spir­it trains our souls to know
Joy is coming, sor­row go­ing;
The path of life di­vine;
Joy is coming, sor­row go­ing;
Blest are the men of peace­ful life,
start
Hail and Ho­san­na, old, ach­ing God!
Stand by me (stand by me).
Let us be pa­tient, pa­tient,
Sowing the pre­cious seed by the way.
Jesus who came to bring good­will to men.
How vain­ly strive un­god­ly foes

grow­ing

Like the flow’rs of the morn­ing His gar­den adorn­ing,
He will al­ways be pre­cious to me,
Together grow­ing here.
By the riv­er, flow­ing there!
Each no­ble serv­ice that men have wrought
The star of Beth­le­hem, how pure its gen­tle ray;
The child-hearts grow­ing wise.
From the na­tions it has won;
And gives to love the pow­er to show
But may the tide come in.
With grow­ing bright­ness shine.
But may the tide come in.
They shall be called the heirs of bliss,
We will journ­ey on;
Saying no to false­hood and un­kind­ness,
Stand by me (stand by me);
How long it lies in the dark­some earth,
Scattering pre­cious seed, free­ly sow­ing,
Trying our par­ents each day to ob­ey,
And with pre­sump­tu­ous scorn op­pose
