Hymn – In The Garden       ( Elvis Presley (1966) )

{ by C. Austin Miles (1912) }

[Capo: 1]

  G                                 

I come to the gar-den a-lone,  

                C                       G

While the dew is still on the ros-es,

                      D7                            G        A7     

And the voice I hear, Fall-ing on my ear,

A7                            D7

 The Son of God dis-clos-es.

               G                                  D                

And he walks with me, and he talks with me,

                D7                        G

   And he tells me I am his own,

        G                 B7               Em       C    

And the joy we share as we tar-ry there,

              G            D7       G

 None oth-er has ev-er known.

He speaks, and the sound of his voice

Is so sweet, the birds hush their sing-ing,

And the mel-o-dy That he gave to me,

With-in my heart is ring-ing,

I’d stay in the gar-den with him

Tho’ the night a-round me be fall-ing,

But he bids me go, Thro’ the voice of woe,

His voice to me is call-ing.
