1. I have a garden, a lovely garden, With flowers blossoming ever fair; Where sun shines brightly, and rain falls lightly, And breezes gather sweet fragrance there. Songbirds come singing out of the sky; Butterflies winging, hovering by; And in my garden, my lovely garden, There’s always beauty to greet the eye.
2. I have a garden, a secret garden, Where tho’ts like flowers grow day by day; ’Tis I must choose them, and tend and use them, And cast all wrong ones like weeds away. Goodness and love are seeds that I sow; God up above will help me I know, To keep my garden, my heart’s own garden, A place where beauty will always grow.
