Lyr Req: Beautiful Garden of Prayer

I'm listening to a full-length MP3 right now from the Digital Library of Appalachia.

Hoping for dots and, if handy, a text of the lyric, tho it's clear enough I can transcribe it. Lovely, homey old piece. Waltz. Rufus Woods sings and plays in an interview at his home in Meadows of Dan, Virginia, in the 80's.

I thought I recalled seeing it here, but no luck on Mudcat search.

Chorus:

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

The hymn is in Robert H. Coleman, ed., The Modern Hymnal: Standard Hymns and Gospel Songs New and Old, for General Use in All Church Services (Dallas: The Broadman Press, 1926, no. 414).
