you! Below are the lyrics of this gospel hymn, ‘In the Garden’ or ‘I Come to the Garden alone. I come to the garden alone, And He walks with me, and He talks with me, He speaks and the sound of His voice, And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And the joy we share as
we tarry there, “I come to the garden alone” was composed in 1912 by C Austin Miles (1868-1946), a pharmacist by profession. I come to the garden alone has divided opinions among Christians. It is loved and loathed in equal measure in the Christian community. Those who oppose this hymn think that it is too erotic and egocentric. C Austin Miles says the inspiration for this hymn came to him in March 1912 when he was drawn to John 20-1-18. This is the story of the meeting between Jesus and Mary Magdalene soon after his resurrection. He says as he read this chapter he felt as if he was part of the scene as Mary knelt before Jesus and addressed him as “Rabboni”. He says, “My hands were resting in the Bible while I stared at the light blue wall. As the light faded, I seemed to be standing at the entrance of a garden, looking down at a gently winding path, shaded by olive branches. He then describes the arrival of Mary, Peter, and John as they gathered at the tomb, followed by the appearance of Jesus.  He then states,” 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 appeared”. Therefore, it is because of this “vision” that the author produced the words of this hymn. It has nothing to do with anything erotic. The song owes its popularity to two musicians, Homer Rodeheaver and Virginia Asher of the Billy Sunday evangelistic campaigns of the early twentieth century. Popular Musicians Who Have Sang in the Garden.This is an extremely popular song and was a favorite of Elvis Presley. It is in some respects one of Elvis Presley’s gospel songs as he helped in exposing this song to the youth of his day. Elvis Presley included this song on his gospel album ‘How Great Thou Art’.

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.

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.
