I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses
D G Em
and the voice I hear, falling on my ear
A D D7
The Son of God discloses.
G G7 C G
He speaks, and the sound of His voice is so sweet that the birds hush their singing
D G Em A D D7
and the melody that He gave to me within my heart is ringing
G D D7 G
and He walks with me and He talks with me and He tells me I am His own
G G7 C Cm G D G
and the joy we share as we tarry there none other has ever known.
G D D7 G
Just A Closer Walk with Thee Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
G G7 C G D G A
Daily walking close to Thee Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
A D A E7
What a friend we have in Jesus all our sins and griefs to bear
A A7 D A E7 A
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer
E7 A A7 D A E7
O what peace we often forfeit O what needless pain we bear
A A7 D A E7 A
All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer,
A E7 D A
Take it to The Lord in prayer
