Appropriate for both older children's choirs and youth choirs, this unique, jazz style anthem reinforces valuable lessons taught during the Lenten season and other times of year. The forty days and forty nights theme underscores the importance of setting aside time to reflect and pray, just as Jesus did in the wilderness. Also drawing from Old Testament stories about Noah and Moses, the composers emphasize the importance of waiting, trusting, and following God's leadership.

Follow the first verse as you listen.
There's a garden where Jesus is waiting.
There's a place that is wondrously fair
For it glows in the light of His presence,
'Tis the beautiful garden of prayer.

O the beautiful garden, the garden of prayer.
O the beautiful garden of prayer.
There my Savior awaits and He opens the gates
To the beautiful garden of prayer.

This marvelous 1941 song was originally recorded as a big band/swing tune by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra and featured in the 1941 movie Sun Valley
Serenade.  It was the first song to receive a gold record, presented by RCA Victor in 1942, for sales of 1.2 million copies.  The song was an extended production number, and became the No. 1 song across the United States on December 7, 1941, and remained at No. 1 for nine weeks on the Billboard Best Sellers chart.  It opens up with the band, sounding like a train rolling out of the station, complete with the trumpets and trombones imitating a train whistle, before the instrumental portion comes in playing two parts of the main melody.  This is followed by the vocal introduction of four lines before the main part of the song is heard.  The main song opens with a dialog between a passenger and a shoeshine boy.  The singer describes the train's route, originating from Pennsylvania Station in New York and running through Baltimore to North Carolina before reaching Chattanooga. He mentions a woman he knew from an earlier time in his life, who will be waiting for him at the station and with whom he plans to settle down for good. After the entire song is sung, the band plays two parts of the main melody as an instrumental, with the instruments imitating the WHOO WHOO of the train as the song ends.  This is a very intriguing adaptation, with or without voice.  The price indicated allows you to purchase one (1) copy of the vocal version.
