lyrics
I come to the garden
alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear
Falling on my ear
The song of God discloses
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear
Falling on my ear
The song of God discloses
refrain
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
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
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
Of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody
That He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
refrain
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
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
And the joy we share
As we tarry there
None other has ever known
As we tarry there
None other has ever known
In the Garden
This
hymn was written by C. Austin Miles (1868-1946), who at the age of 24 left his
job as a pharmacist to concentrate on music publishing and hymn-writing. For 37
years, he served as editor and manager at the hymnal publishers Hall-Mack,
whilst penning a number of religious songs including "Answering Thy
Call," "He Is Mine" and "Love, Mercy and Grace."
This
gospel hymn is Miles' best known piece. It was commissioned by the music
publisher Dr. Adam Geible, who asked Miles to write something that was
"sympathetic in tone, breathing tenderness in every line; one that would
bring tenderness in every line; one that would bring hope to the hopeless, rest
for the weary, and downy pillows to dying beds."
Miles later recalled in George W. Sanville's book, Forty Gospel Hymn Stories the inspiration for this song: "One day in March, 1912, I was seated in the dark room, where I kept my photographic equipment and organ. I drew my bible toward me; it opened at my favorite chapter, John 20-whether by chance or inspiration let each reader decide."
Miles went on to recount how he had a vision, in which he could see and hear Mary Magdalene weeping outside the tomb of Jesus as the resurrected Christ appeared to her. He recalled how he "became a silent witness to that dramatic moment in Mary's life, when she knelt before her Lord, and cried, 'Rabboni!'" Miles then described how: "I awakened in full light, gripping the Bible, with muscles tense and nerves vibrating. Under the inspiration of this vision I wrote as quickly as the words could be formed the poem exactly as it has since appeared. That same evening I wrote the music."

Miles'
great-granddaughter recounted on mnkurmudge.blogspot that the hymn "was written on
a cold, dreary day in a cold, dreary and leaky basement in New Jersey that
didn't even have a window in it let alone a view of a garden."
After
the hymn was published in 1912 it was popularized during Billy Sunday's
evangelistic campaigns of the 1910s and 20s. It is now one of America's most
popular hymns.
Elvis
Presley recorded this hymn on his 1967 gospel album How Great Thou Art.
Many other artists have covered it including Ella Fitzgerald, Loretta Lynn,
Dionne Warwick, Johnny Cash, Amy
Grant and Perry Como.
The hymn
is sung in the closing scene of the 1984 movie Places of the Heart.
"In the Garden" (sometimes
rendered by its first line "I Come to the Garden Alone" is
a gospel song written by American
songwriter C. Austin Miles (1868–1946),
a former pharmacist who served as editor and manager at Hall-Mack publishers
for 37 years. According to Miles' great-granddaughter, the song was written
"in a cold, dreary and leaky basement in Pitman, New Jersey that didn't
even have a window in it let alone a view of a garden."[1] The song was first published in
1912 and popularized during the Billy Sunday evangelistic campaigns of
the early twentieth century by two members of his staff, Homer Rodeheaver and Virginia Asher.
Roy Rogers and Dale Evans recorded the song with vocal
quartet and orchestra on March 3, 1950.[2] Tennessee Ernie Ford performed
the song on his 1956 platinum album Hymns.
A June 18, 1958 recording by Perry Como was part of his album When
You Come to the End of the Day.[3] Rosemary Clooney included it on her
1959 MGM Records album Hymns
from the Heart. It is also used in juxtaposition to "Blue Tail Fly" near the beginning of
the Merchant Ivory film The
Ballad of the Sad Cafe. The book of poetry Tea by D. A. Powell also refers to the
song. Doris Day recorded the song on her 1962
album You'll
Never Walk Alone. Elvis Presley recorded the song on his
gospel album How
Great Thou Art (1967). Willie Nelson recorded the song on his
1976 gospel album The Troublemaker.[4] Glen Campbell recorded the song on his
1989 gospel album Favorite Hymns.
The gospel song is sung in the closing scene of the film Places in the Heart (1984)
and by Ronee Blakley in
the Robert Altman film Nashville (1975). Brad Paisley recorded a cover of the song
on his debut album Who Needs Pictures (1999).
The song is included on Johnny Cash's 5-CD box set Cash
Unearthed, released posthumously in November, 2003,[5] and featured on disc 4, My
Mother's Hymn Book. This collection of gospel songs was released as a
stand-alone disc six months later.
The Avett Brothers regularly
sing this song as an encore at their concerts.

Payn. Miles attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University
of Pennsylvania. In 1892, he abandoned his career as a pharmacist and
wrote his first Gospel song, “List ’Tis Jesus’ Voice” which was published by
the Hall-Mack Company. He served as editor and manager at the Hall-Mack
publishers for 37 years. In his own words: It is as a writer of gospel
songs I am proud to be known, for in that way I may be of the most…
