In The Garden- A Hymn Classic

These old hymns were the ones you grew up with in the country church. Though they lack the sizzle and drive of electronic contemporary Christian music, the message of peace and spiritual intimacy is very much present.

This hymn was sung at my grandparents funerals...It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. I always think of them when I hear it. :'(.

@AndyCapp306 Thanks for your comment. Your thoughts are shared by many including myself. I sang it at my dad's funeral. He loved planting in the earth and seeing it grow.

Written by my great-grandfather in 1914, C. Austin Miles. This piece made a lot of appearances in movies from the 50s 60s and even 80s. It was even, laughably, in an episode of "Little House" once. TOO funny...... I liked it best in "Spencer's Mountain" with Maureen O'Hara singing it.

And it isn't a HYMN, it's a Gospel song. There is a difference...

I'm a soprano, but I've never sung this except at a funeral. Is is rather strange to sing something a relative wrote.

Dear Red

Thanks for sharing this amazing bit of information. This has been a significant and comforting 'gospel song' that has figured in my family testimony and many thousands of others. It just so perfectly describes the peace and comfort of Jesus' presence (that he is more than willing to bring to any who wish for this side by side fellowship. cc

My grandma loved gardening. At her funeral the pastor mentioned all the sorts of life she cared for with her hands, the gardening, holding us as infants etc And this was sung, no one in my family knew they chose this song, it was one of the most touching moments of my life when it began, it fit her so well. This singer even sounds close to the singer we had. Thanks for the upload!

My grandparents died 13 days apart December 2007. It was a huge loss for me. I have struggled with their deaths and December is always the hardest. One day I was looking through this hymnal book of my grandmothers and came across this song. I feel it was a message from my grandmother. I had never heard this song before but when I read it, it was like my grandmother was telling me she was in the garden with Jesus and that she was very happy. I'm glad to find it and finally put a tune with it.

@bigredsoprano. Thanks for revealing the writer of this lovely, encouraging and comforting song. I have been searching for the writer for acknowledgement before I sing it as a special number in any gathering I attend.

Thanks C. Austin Miles, you are already blessed in His presence now and forever.

This son is absolutely beautiful. I'm considering singing this for a solo in my church. It was sung at my great great great grandmother's funeral: it was her favorite.

@bigredsoprano Did your gr grandfather really write this? How special. When i was a child in the Bronx -early '50's, my mother would sing this around the house.

A few minutes ago, I was washing dishes at the kitchen sink, and found myself singing this hymn. I came in to YT to find it.

It represents a different Christianity than we have today.

Pre 1970,- Christianity was of a loving gentle Jesus. who paid for our sins.

Today, our Christianity is one of Rapture and Ant-Christ, and Tribulation.

Sizzle and drive of electronic contemporary Christian music? God- fuck you, douche.
