Classic Hymns from The Shadowlands

I love old hymns, heck I love new hymns. And I use them for moments of quiet reflection and while studying. One thing I love to do, is record music, I’ve recorded hundred and hundreds of songs, 4 albums for 3 different independent bands, and several albums of my own work. I would like to pass along, for free, my musical musings, to help you as you wander through the Shadowlands. Cheers, The Christian Nomad http://TheChristianNomad.com

“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.” 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.

I play it a little different 😉

Lyrics:
1 I come to the garden alone,While the dew is still on the roses;And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,The Son of God discloses.

2 He speaks, and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing;And the melody that He gave to meWithin 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.

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.

3 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.

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.
