In the Garden (I Come to the Garden Alone)
Author: C. Austin Miles Meter: 8.9.5.5.7 with refrain Appears in 275 hymnals Scripture: John 20:11-18 First Line: I come to the garden alone Refrain First Line: And he walks with me 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.
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.
2. 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. (Refrain)
3. I’d stay in the garden with him
though the night around me be falling,
but he bids me go; thru the voice of woe
his voice to me is calling. (Refrain)

The sun shone out with fairer light,
When to their longing eyes restored,
The apostles saw their risen Lord.

His wounded hands and feet he showed;
Those scars their solemn witness gave
That Christ was risen from the grave.

Who with your grace our hearts possess
That we may give you all our days
The willing tribute of our praise.
4 O Lord of all, with us abide
In this our joyful Eastertide;
From ev'ry weapon death can wield
Your own redeemed for ever shield.
5 All praise to you, O risen Lord,
Now both by heaven and earth adored;
to God the Father equal praise,
And Spirit blest, our songs we raise.

When in fierce and bloody strife
Met together death and life.

Now he lives, no more to die."

Empty tomb and angels seen
Where Christ's body once had been.

Makes his way to Galilee."

Now the first-born from the dead,
Throned in endless might and pow'r,
Lives and reigns for evermore.

Hail, our Prince of life adored!

Earth, tell it out abroad;
the Passover of gladness,
the Passover of God.
From death to life eternal,
from sin's dominion free,
our Christ has brought us over
with hymns of victory.
2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
that we may see aright
the Lord in rays eternal
of resurrection light;
and, listening to his accents,
may hear, so calm and plain,
his own "all hail" and, hearing,
may raise the victor strain.
3 Now let the heavens be joyful!
Let earth its song begin!
The world resound in triumph,
and all that is therein;
let all things seen and unseen
their notes of gladness blend;
for Christ the Lord has risen,
our Joy that has no end. Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE
The Day of Resurrection!
