The Lord Into His Garden Comes(Canaan Melodies #55)

A beautiful old hymn which speaks of consecration, revival and the fruitful soul, calling believers onward to full surrender and the promised home with Christ.

LYRICS:

1. The Lord into His garden comes, the spices yield their rich perfumes,
The lilies grow and thrive, the lilies grow and thrive;
Refreshing show'rs of grace divine, from Jesus flow to ev'ry vine,
Which make the dead revive, which make the dead revive.

2. O that this dry and barren ground in springs of water may abound,
A fruitful soil become, a fruitful soil become,
The desert blossoms as the rose, while Jesus conquers all His foes,
And makes His people one, and makes His people one.

3. The glorious time is rolling on, the gracious work is now begun,
My soul a witness is, my soul a witness is,
I taste and see the pardon free for all mankind as well as me,
Who come to Christ may live, who come to Christ may live.

4. Come, brethren dear, who know the Lord, and taste the sweetness of His word,
In Jesus' ways go on, in Jesus' ways go on,
Our troubles and our trials here, will only make us richer there,
When we arrive at home, when we arrive at home.

5. 'Tis there we'll reign, and shout and sing, and make the upper regions ring,
When all the saints get home, when all the saints get home;
Come, come on, my brethren dear, soon we shall meet together there,
For Jesus bids us come, for Jesus bids us come.

6. Amen, amen my soul replies, I'm bound to meet you in the skies,
And claim my mansion there, and claim my mansion there;
Now here's my heart, and here's my hand, to meet you in that heavenly land,
Where we shall part no more, where we shall part no more.
