  • Serenely beautiful!

  • One of my late mother's favorite.

  • I love Elvis' version of this song - I know he didn't live a perfect life, but we cannot know the struggles he encountered. I believe that, no matter what, God is a loving God and will never abandon us. Elvis was a very faithful man, but was also very conflicted. He gave his fans a huge part of himself - 100% of the time (who can do that and stay in the Spirit?). I loved him as a child - and will love and pray for him my entire life - we miss you EP

  • There's nobody who sings this like Elvis, he's the best! His voice is like an angel. Pure and straight from the heart! I think there were two great spiritual voices in the world, male and female - Elvis Presley and Mahalia Jackson.

  • If there has ever been a good match of vocalist and song, this is it.

  • I think this is from His favorate gosple songs.

  • hiyagasesda <3

  • what album is this song from?

  • This is a nice-sounding song, but I disagree with the message. Oh well, I can still enjoy it, I suppose.

  • Singing this at church today!

  • @xxJak That's where I learned it. Been with me EVER since. I want it sung at my funeral.

  • i wish there was an emoticon to show my tears when i here this song.

  • We played this version at my 85 yr old mom's funeral this past Friday. She LOVED Elvis and also this song...so it was perfect. He did a beautiful job singing this. Thank you Elvis. Miss you mom!

  • :)

    

  • I'm playing this song in a funeral tomorrow. I never knew this song before - I am learning it for the first time from this beautiful recording of Elvis Presley's expressive version. Music like this revives my faith.

  • these words are for those who truely know the voice of God

  • I am crying listening to this wonderful song, sung by our own. He is singing to the angels. It is my song when it is my time.

  • Love This, my husband passed away 2 years ago. I,m so glad he walks with me!

  • cant beleive 13 dislikes.......perhaps God doesnt walk with you?

  • Great song, nice photos of Elvis.

    One thing you should "edit" in the lyrics, in the first stanza, it should be "the Son of God discloses"..

  • Comment removed

  • @RussOtis Listen closely, those are the words he sings.

  • This sounds so much like my brother, Don, singing. He and his C&W band did a USO tour in Vietnam. He now lives is another state and I don't get to hear him sing anymore. I wish I could go back and have him living next door again, so I could hear him sing anytime I wanted.

  • @BgMsDangerus

    Ask him to record a CD and you will have him with you everyday.

  • @georgemickle Good Idea. Can you tell I'm a little slow on the uptake?

  • My dad requested only one song be played at his funeral-this beautiful tune. I honored his request and now this song has more meaning to me than ever. I loved my dad so much and pray I'll be with him again one day.

  • Elvis truly was an angel when he sang

  • this is one of the greatest songs he ever sang god bless Elvis

  • My grandmother was also 92 when she died and she never heard this song as far as I know. She lived in Mexico, but she prayed that the Lord Jesus would be with her just like the song says. God bless.

  • Este hermoso himno se titula "A SOLAS AL HUERTO YO VOY" lo cantamos bastante en la iglesia METODISTA... Saludos y bendiciones a todos desde Chile! :D 2da Iglesia Metodista de Lota :)

  • At an Elvis concert once some young female fans wanted to show their appreciation by holding up a huge banner that read: ELVIS IS THE KING,

    Elvis gently admonished them by saying, "No, Jesus is the king." Show the man had his priorities straight.

  • 1:40 Sexy baby !

  • My Grandmother's favorite song. She has been walking with Him in heaven for 7 years now.

  • liked this song, thx

  • HELLO RED...

    THANK YOU FOR POSTING THE INFO.... THIS SONG..... CAN TOUCH ANYONE WHO OPENS THERE HEART TO LISTEN.

    I LOVE THIS SONG..... I FEEL ONLY PEACE ......

    CONNIE PAYSTRUP

  • i woke up this morning with a song in my heart. this is one of them. he has such a wonderful voice. i also listened to he touched me, by elvis. very beautiful. i remember them both from my childhood and still associate them with my grandmother. they fill my heart with warmth and love. thank you Jesus for elvis who helps fill our hearts with joy and love.

  • Another one of my favorite songs. As I was told by my Warmonger, whoremonger, slavemonger genetic family and their friends in the mental 'health' care system, you can not have heard his voice, who do you think you are so important that Jesus has time to talk to you? I tell them, well I'm sure you doubting Thomas' and Thomasina's try to keep him busy, but He finds the time. They insist, you are not allowed to 'Hear Voices'! I told one then you go away and shut up, Just behaving!

  • i have this song in my cd now, i like it but i think you have other song for us

  • i was singing this to my friend Chris Wright as she died in the intensive care unit 7 years ago this july 30th

    i sang it in church when a young girl, and i am 54 now

  • This was my precious little mother's favorite hymn. When I was a little girl I would hear her singing and humming this song. She is now one of the faithful who are among the "Great cloud of witnesses" who someday I will get to see again......

  • @Theredheadedsoprano-

    I especially love the Evening Hymn when sung by Flvis.Such a touching song written by a truly great man of God.O how i wish i would have met him in person to show my appreciation.May God bless his Generations following..

  • What a beautiful song..I wish Elvis was here to sing it for us.

  • This was my grandfather's favorite hymn and I am surprised to learn it was written in 1912. I thought it was much older. I love this song, too, and get teary-eyed every time I hear it. :-)

  • bless your granfather, for sharing this song !!!!!!

  • Really beautiful words indeed and sung beautifully! Very nice :)

  • Great sound, great song, great post. thanks

  • this is a fantastic

  • Your grandfather's song has touched so many souls that it is impossible to count. Bless his heart for this soul-stirring song, and thank you for letting us know the circumstances of its origin. God be with you and yours.

  • My grandpa recently passed away...this was his favorite song...this song means the world me to ♥

  • I love it. I am a hopeless sinner, as was Elvis. And the good Lord Jesus is our only hope...

  • Your Great Grandfather has touched my life and left an imprint forever

  • May 21 is Judgment Day

    ~W A T C H~

  • elvis could sing a gospel song like none other could..

  • si su bisabuelo escribio esta cancion se puede sentir la bisnieta mas orgullosa de toda la historia de la musica cristiana

  • This will be played at my funeral !! My all time favorite Hymn. And no one ever sang it better Than Elvis.

  • Auto tune cant do that!

  • @drakegtr2 fuck yea..!!

  • @supernanchita ..Colossians 4:6 (NASB)

    6 Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.

  • @MrJfmills This is my favorite verse, and I like your application.

  • @supernanchita Colossians 4:6 (NASB)

    6 Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.

    

  • This gives me chills, I am singing this at a funeral tomorrow

  • My grandmother passed away last month at age 92, with a sound mind and ready heart. Her first time to be hospitalized. What a blessing that was in itself. I'm almost thirty years old, but I remembered so clearly as a small child her telling me that "In the Garden" was a hymn that always meant so much to her. And I sang this while I laid beside her in the hospital bed. And as she passed away. I know He was walking with her then, but I felt such comfort knowing that He was there beside me too.

  • @maddison876 Your a wonderful Grandchild and a beautiful person. I take my hat off to you

  • @maddison876 God bless you dear, what a wonderful grandaughter u were, I am sure the angels were smiling down on you while you were with her, one day we shall all be together with him in heaven and what a glorious day that shall be !

  • @maddison876

    This is my Mom's favorite hymn also. I sang it for her in church one Sunday. She will 92 on the 19th of this month and it will definitely be sung when the angels come for her.

  • @maddison876  AMEN ~ HE was there!

  • @maddison876 wow God bless you and your family :)

  • @maddison876 I am sorry for your loss of your grandma...Ive got tears rolling down my face I was I was reading your story!! Many blessings to you!!

  • @maddison876 I love this song, too! My grandmother loved this song and she and I both used to play this on the piano a lot. I always think of her when I hear it. She was born in the 1880s (!!!!) and I played the song on the piano during the 60s and 70s. Just goes to show how some songs are eternal!

  • @maddison876 god bless you that is so beautiful and its one of my favorites too and im 67 years old now

  • @maddison876 It's been almost a year, and yet it seems like yesterday. I still miss her so much. I think of all the stories that I didn't write down, all of the recipes and patterns that are lost now, and how I will never hear her say, "Ohhh, Amber, so glad to see you, sit down, and tell me about your week...." I love you, grandmomma. thank you for making me, ME.

  • Obviously, different screen names. Same person. Not that it matters, really. Still a great song that reminds us of what we will go through, what they have went through, and how we will see each other again one day.

  • This man had a great gift; the ability to reach people through his music, whether it be gospel, rock, country or blues. Elvis found great joy in singing the music that meant so much to him, mainly gospel. Listen to that voice! What a loss the music world suffered on august 16th 1977. I was eleven, but that day is etched in my mind forever. Love always from Norway.

  • love this song and love elvis..... what a match !!

  • Elvis felt this with his heart, an accomplishment that few singers have ever attained.

  • Elvis singing gospel...A beautiful song...A video with lirycs

  • Thanks for this beautiful song.

  • Thanks for this beautiful song.

  • In the Garden Written by Fanny Crosby- this woman wrote 100's of Hymns and this is my fave! God bless!

  • @VTFarmArt Nope, you're wrong. A Gentleman named C. Miles wrote this; in a dank, dark, leaky basement during a rain storm. Get your facts right.

  • Nice to meet you TheRedheaded Soprano. I can remember meeting Dorothy Miles, daughter of Charles Austin Miles many years ago in Boston. I think of her every time I sing this beautiful piece.

  • God sure has a great choir in heaven..

  • great song

  • This is one of my favourites, for every word is sung with a meaning way beyond comprehension as man would never understand...For that garden is Mistical and Magical and can take one on a journey through time too a place one can only dream about for their is only goodness in that mistical garden....Absolutely Divine..For their is know other words for it...Marrtinna really did out do himself here Always Jessie xxx

  • Crazy coincidence we had a soloist sing this at my grandmothers funeral 2 days ago

  • 2 year to the day my grandmother died, and this was her favorite song, makes me cry every time

  • Thank you for taking me into the garden, into the garden of life and all things great!! xxx

  • OH, my--one of greatest songs of all time and THE greatest singer. Gone too soon.

  • @aprilschmidt i just lost my wee sister 4 weeks ago ..cant belive shes gone i know shes with elvis ,his music is calming me down ..but the hurting is still there ....cant sleep ,work. relax ,im lost

  • @alimac42 Life is so tender, so fragile, 'n so very precious! In the continuing days ahead when the quiet moments come 'n the hurt is hard to bear, Love will be your shelter 'n your comfort. You are held in gentle thoughts 'n prayers by all who love you 'n yours. Dear April, I have not met you personally, but we are family 'n Christ Jesus, I too, will be holding you 'n yours close to my heart, keeping you in my prayers. Love 'n Hugs Always and Forever! Your Sis in Christ Jesus .. Jo Ann

  • @alimac42 No Love, you only feel lost. God is always with us to show us the way. But, I feel your grief. May God Bless You.

  • @aprilschmidt we sang this at my great grandmothers funeral and we all were blessed this is an amazing and powerful song

  • Thanks for sharing the story of your great-grandad. My dad requested this hymn to be sung at his funeral 3 years ago. The most beautiful song in the world.

  • loved this from the LP record I bought way back then, from ''HOW GREAT THOU ART''

    couldn't get enough of Elvis stuff then, no computers or dvds is those days to access songs just records.

  • What do you say about the [KING]

  • my mom's funeral song 30 years ago

  • Hopefully what it sounds like, "In the Garden," (w/the voices of Melissa Donati, DL & MLP singing "so sweet the birds hush their singing...").

  • Love this - it is 2nd only to the Jim Reeves version!....

  • My number one absolute favorite hymn, sung by one of the finest voices ever heard on this earth. What a blessing that we have his recordings and he will never truly be gone.

  • When I was younger, younger then today music like this gave me everything I needed, now as I come closer to my end, I have the feeling there is nothing after I passed away, that we all hope there is a god and "something after this" it makes me so sad you can't believe, I am lonely without friends they are gone and away. I wait till my time is up, and hope that there is a god Elvis sings about.. the songs that gave me so much in the past when I was younger then today! god bless you all.

  • @monteur1965 It is comforting to know that when our faith waivers, God's love doesn't.

  • @npccostumes I hope there is a god not only for me but for all people on this planet, rich and poor! I didn't lost my believe complete but sometimes a man wonders why he our Lord let things happen as the go. I hope you get all gods love you need, and hope you give it to someone lonley walking on the street in your town. Cause the god that made you, made them too. this isn't some nice text, this what I really do believe.

  • @monteur1965 god bless you to

  • @monteur1965 oh Jesus me, you sound so sad, you make me weep, there are beautiful songs and people around on this channel, just get back to them, we will lift you up.

    love and take care my dear unknown friend

    charlotte

  • @monteur1965 There definitely is the God of love that Elvis and others sing of. This gives me great peace about the end of my earthly life. A more contemporary song that is awesome to me is "I can only imagine" sung by Mercy Me. It talks about the moment you stand in front of your Savior for the very first time. I truly hope you can feel the love and peace God offers through Jesus. We are assured a beautiful home in heaven with all believers in Christ. No sorrow or pain. Only love and joy.

  • @monteur1965

    Believe. Faith.

  • @monteur1965 I don't know how old you are but you blessed me when I read your post. We don't just hope there is a God, he is real and he waits for us. Your friends may be gone but I think they wait for you. Only God knows when your time will be, but if you can, call somebody to talk to. I wish I could speak with you, we would talk about how great heaven will be.

  • @monteur1965 I truly believe that there is something after this. And when it's our turn to go home, I truly believe that he walks with us and he talks with us, each and every one of us, when we get there. May you be truly Blessed until your turn comes to go home.

  • None of us know what was in Elvis' heart but I do know that it seems to me that he always sang his very best when singing Gospel songs. I have been listening to his version of this song since I was just a kid. I finally got the nerve to start recording some of these great old songs myself. If you are interested please stop by my channel sometime and see what you think of my efforts. I am very much an amature and certainly no Elvis....but then again who is.

  • How on earth did a man, idolized by millions of women, keep his soul this way?

    I am thinking it may be an incredible testament to his mother.

    May they be together always.

  • @pauldewitt77 the human soul is as beautiful and special as the king Elvis Presley! Elvis is archetype of the human soul and to betray Elvisis to betray one humanity and some have done this because of materialism! :)

    Furthermore without ones own soul one can never achieve spiritual things or heights, so there you have it from the man himself! God bless u n ur soul my friend n don't betray it for comfort n material wealth like many have done! Love & Peace

  • This was my mothers very favorite song--and nobody sings it better than Elvis..

  • "In the Garden" was written by my great-grandfather, Charles Austin Miles. I am a classical vocalist but I'm told this piece is one of his most loved. It has been used in many movies, sung by every known singer, and was even featured in "Little House of the Prairie" once...funny...since it wasn't written until 1912. Written in a dark and dingy basement with no windows during a long period of rain.....I guess that's faith for you. I'm glad you all enjoy his music.

  • @TheRedheadedSoprano My mother of 85 wishes this at her funeral when the time comes.I hope for the Rapture soon.

  • @TheRedheadedSoprano Thank you so much for sharing the story of your grandfather and this song! Elvis' version of it has always been one of my favorites.....and I fully expect to "run across him" singing it in heaven.....

  • @TheRedheadedSoprano

    Well your great-grandfather wrote one of the greatest songs ever penned by man.

  • @TheRedheadedSoprano

    My mother's favorite song. And sung at her funeral. An avid gardener.

  • @TheRedheadedSoprano This is my absolute favorite hymn. It will be an honor to meet your ggf in heaven someday!

  • @TheRedheadedSoprano It's my favorite hymn. So comforting and beautiful.

  • @TheRedheadedSoprano .. that's amazing. Thank you for sharing that. This is such a wonderful piece of music and of course Elvis makes it soar.

  • @TheRedheadedSoprano

    In the Garden is like my most favorite of ALL songs. If I am feeling down I can listen to this song and it just seems to lift me up and give me comfort. My family jsut found out about 2 weeks ago that my great-nephew who is 19 has leukemia. Any prayers you have will be grateful.

  • @TheRedheadedSoprano

    Absolutely appreciate this upload. My mother sang it in our tiny church and I will be singing it in late July. The beauty of the lyrics still ring true after all these years. Thanks for sharing the story behind the song =)

  • @TheRedheadedSoprano - just amazing- your great-grandfather at the time im sure had no idea how many hearts he would touch for years to come- this song is probably my favorite religious song- nothing even compares to it except for MAYBE Amazing Grace- but this song truely melts my heart...  just amazing.!

  • @TheRedheadedSoprano Bless you! Your great-grandfather was indeed, an inspiration to all of us! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing this mind-blowing story with us. I used to sing "his" song at Sunday School.

    My Mom has just passed away and I glean an incredible strength and love from this song!

    Peace & Love,

    Bridgette

    xoxoxo

  • im not sure this is fact but i was told that evils practiced in more than one religion

  • May he finally have peace in the valley.

  • Studies show we tell our first lies at 4/5. No studies for when we stop and sadly, many never do. The most evil Illusion ever played on humanity, when Satanists posing as scientists introduced the 1913 Piltdown Man Hoax. 40 yrs later the Hoax was revealed, but the illusion sustained with a series of more diabolical "missing link" frauds. Elvis, came to know the truth. His grammys were for his Gospel music, when the king paid tribute to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ.

  • isn't it awesome that Elvis only won 3 Grammy Awards but all three were for Gospel music. And Elvis knew it was GOd who gave him the voice. I am looking forward to singing with him in heaven when i get there.

  • My Grandmother was my hero. She was the finest Christian I have ever known and she taught me about the love of Jesus. She lived next door and each morning we spent time in her beautiful garden together... This was our song... And Elvis sang it so beautifully.

    

  • Lindo, maravilhoso, sinto-me como se estivesse ao lado de Jesus no Jardim do Getsêmani, quando Ele orava e suava gotas de sangue por nossos pecados. Obrigada, Jesus, porque um dia estiveste nesse jardim!

  • elvis your gospel cures people souls and cleans them thatk u for your music

    may god bless you and let u rest in peace

  • I looked forward to singing this in church when I was a little girl. I still love the song all these years later. Thanks for posting this version.

  • Thank You Lord!

  • I think God was selfish when He called Elvis.

  • @GamlaGossen Page 409 of the hym book, Farther Along--- We may not understand God decisions now, but Farther Along we'll know all about it....

  • Thanks for posting all the different version of singers of this song. They al are equally great. One of my favorite hymn we use during the family services. God Bless you!

  • wow...beautiful song!!!

  • We've all shared in Elvis' love for Jesus, which strengthens our Faith & hope.Thank God for old time religion! Spine, tingling, emotional melody! Peace via Music...VIVA MARIA!

  • Este era o hino predileto das meninas em nossa capela, todas as manhãs e noite quando fazíamos nosso culto de adoração a Deus, no internato, ao som do piano, tocado por excelente pianista, nos sentíamos mais perto de Deus! I love the voice the Elvis, beautiful song, Elvis the King! In The Garden.

  • My favorite hymn. No one will ever do it like Elvis.

  • my mom loved elvis i played this song for her at her funeral love you momma...xo

  • my mom loved elvis presley and i chose this song for her funeral it will always be special to me. RIP MOMMA,,,XO

  • @starr915 Bless you hun and your mum x

  • JESUS ONLY IS KING and Elvis is God's gift to humanity to bring glory back to his Creator - GOD. =)

  • BEAUTIFUL SONG!

  • I can remember riding down the road with my Mother about a year and half ago playin the Gospel Cd that I had burnt and this song came on. My Mommy looked at me and said when I die I want this played at my funeral. Little did I know that I would be playin that at her funeral just a couple of months after that. It makes me cry like a lil baby no everytime I hear it.

  • @les0723 I too played it at my Mom's funeral for her. God Bless You.

  • this was my nana's favorite song..after 9 yrs after her death this still brings tears to my eyes

  • GOD, Give us back Elvis we will Gladly Give you Justin Bebier....

  • @JustKdot96 yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssss

  • @JustKdot96 ...........GLADLY!

  • @JustKdot96 God will never do that couse he loves Bieber just like you too :) and Yes Elvus was great

  • @JustKdot96 well said.. although Justin looks like Elvis, if you look closely

  • @JustKdot96 yeah sure!!!! But Biber doesn't deserve heaven he has to be in hell or maybe in anywhere, he is just a plague, jajajaja

  • @fre4dflame That is uncool. I'm not a fan of JB but what you said is quite judgemental and not funny at all.

  • @JustKdot96 LOL

  • you trippin just bieber is amazing so dont hat on tha biebs

  • @JustKdot96

    That hardly seems a fair exchange...

    XD

  • @JustKdot96 any time lol

  • @JustKdot96 I'm afraid God is more intelligent than to be conned like that, we wont ever be able to give a fair trade

  • @JustKdot96 LOL !xDD

  • @JustKdot96 AMEN to that!  LOL

  • @JustKdot96

    What a Christian thing to say ;)

  • LOVE this song. this was played at my grandmothers funeral a few months ago and everytime i hear this it reminds me of her.

  • Truly one of my favorites by him. :-) 

  • Elvis is so lucky, he experienced being so popular and contributed a lot of gospel songs to the world as inspirations before getting home in heaven. We all are going there but very few made it like Elvis did while here on earth.

    We will all be singers in heaven when we get there.

  • !!!I LOVE YOU!!!!, I CONFESS TO YOU

    FROM THE BOTTON OF MI SOUL,

    THAT YOU HAD BEEN, YOU ARE, AND YOU WILL BE

    FOR THE REST OF MY DAYS

    THE ONLY BOSS OF MY LOVE AND OF MY LIFE.

    COME TO LOVE MY DEAR MASTER,

    MAKE ME LOVE, WITHOUT INVADE MY BODY;

    PENETRATING MY HEART WITH YOUR SWEETNESS,

    AND POSSESING MY SOUL FOR EVERLASTING.

  • Lembro-me com saudades do meu tempo de internato, onde este canto era o preferido na capela feminina, ao som de uma boa pianista, eram momentos de maior aproximação de Deus, ficou gravado em meu coração! I love Jesus!
