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.

Refrain

Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
However dark it be;
Lead me by Thine own hand,
Choose out the path for me.

Smooth let it be or rough,
It will be still the best;
Winding or straight, it leads
Right onward to Thy rest.

I dare not choose my lot;
I would not, if I might;
Choose Thou for me, my God,
So I shall walk aright.

Take Thou my cup, and it
With joy or sorrow fill,
As best to Thee may seem;
Choose Thou my good and ill.

Choose Thou for me my friends,
My sickness or my health;
Choose Thou my cares for me
My poverty or wealth.

The kingdom that I seek
Is Thine: so let the way
That leads to it be Thine,
Else I must surely stray.

Not mine, not mine the choice
In things or great or small;
Be Thou my Guide, my Strength
My Wisdom, and my All.
