Here's the lyrics to the hymn.  It was one of my gran's favorites.

I come to the Garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses.
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,
The son of God discloses.

And he walks with me and he talks with me,
And he tells me I am his own.
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

He speaks, and the sound of his voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing.
And the melody that he gives to me
Within my heart is ringing.

I'd stay in the garden with him
Though the night around me be falling,
But he bids me go with the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.

If you google the song, you can find midi sites where you can hear the melody.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes

Thanks, Izzy. I was thinking of another, more rousing Christian chorus, but I wasn't sure.
