Topic: A walk in the garden

This may belong in Song Requests.  Sorry if it has to be moved. 

My mother used to sing a lullaby to me about walking in a garden with Jesus.  It starts "We walk in the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses."  If anyone knows the proper title to that song or a link to the remainder of the lyrics, I'd be grateful if you could pass it along.

Re: A walk in the garden

Heya Zurf,

This is a old song my mom sang to, it was played at my Grandmothers funeral. She died shortly after I was born and it was one of her favorites.

"In The Garden"

Re: A walk in the garden

That's it guys.  Thanks.  My eldest is growing in spirituality and old soul and country songs may not be cutting it any more. 
Now if I can just sing it without getting a big lump in my throat remembering my Momma's voice and her settling me in to bed.

Re: A walk in the garden

When I saw the words to this something CLICKED!  I know this song... I just dropped everything I was doing and dug it out.  I have a copy of a choir version of this song (SATB).  It's probably in your Church's hymnal!  Of course, it's not guitar but it does have all the vocal notes etc and is written in 6/8 time.  Flats on A, b, d, and e (on the treble clef - I never could read the bass clef).   Send me an email if you are interested in more info Zurf!  smile

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: A walk in the garden

Zurf, I have this song on a Country Gospel Greats CD - In The Garden by David Houston. I'll burn you a copy and send it to you if you will send me your address. Hope this helps.
