In the Garden
Londonderry Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The son of God discloses
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
None other has ever known
He speaks, and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
I'd stay in the garden with Him
Tho' the night around me be falling
But He bids me go thro' the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
The lyrics of Londonderry Choir's song "In the Garden" describe a personal experience of the singer in a garden. The song begins with the singer arriving alone in the garden while the morning dew is still on the roses. As the singer listens, they hear the voice of the son of God revealing himself. The relationship between the singer and God is emphasized as the two walk and talk together. It is a unique, intimate bond with a joy that no one else has ever known.
The second verse describes the sweetness of God's voice, so beautiful that it silences even the birds. The melody that God has given to the singer resonates within their heart. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the ongoing presence of God, the personal conversations they share, and the affirmation that the singer belongs to God.
In the final verse, the singer expresses a desire to stay in the garden with God, even as darkness falls. However, they feel compelled to leave as they hear a voice calling them through sorrowful circumstances. Yet, the assurance remains that as they go, God will continue to walk, talk, and claim them as his own. The joy they experience while spending time together in the garden is unmatched by any other.

I come to the garden alone
I find solace and peace in this place, away from the presence of others
While the dew is still on the roses
During the early morning, when nature is fresh and untouched
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
I listen attentively to the voice that speaks to me, reaching my ears
The son of God discloses
The divine revelation of God's son is revealed to me
And He walks with me
He accompanies me in my journey
And He talks with me
He engages in conversation with me
And He tells me I am His own
He assures me that I belong to Him
And the joy we share as we tarry there
We experience a unique and unparalleled happiness as we linger together
None other has ever known
This joy we share is incomparable and exclusive
He speaks, and the sound of His voice
When He speaks, the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
Is of such sweetness that even the birds cease their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
The beautiful rhythm and harmony that He bestowed upon me
Within my heart is ringing
Resonates deep within my heart
I'd stay in the garden with Him
I would choose to remain in this garden with Him
Tho' the night around me be falling
Even if darkness envelops my surroundings
But He bids me go thro' the voice of woe
He commands me to continue despite the presence of sorrowful or troubled voices
His voice to me is calling
His voice calls out to me, beckoning me to follow
None other has ever known
This unique connection and joy we share remains unparalleled
