about

C. Austin Miles has left the following account of the writing of this
hymn: 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. That meeting of Jesus and Mary in the garden had lost none of its power to charm. As I read it that day, I seemed to be part of the scene.

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 Son of God discloses.

Chorus
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.

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.

~~~Chorus~~~

I’d stay in the garden with Him,
Though the night around me be falling.
But He bids me go, through the voice of woe.
His voice to me is calling.

~~~Chorus~~~
