For the last chorus, Campbell asks the audience to sing along, and the entire audience sings the final chorus twice in unison.

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 even known.

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 even known.

Campbell is famous for his singing and instrumental talents, and his work as a television host. What's more, Campbell was also very spiritual and spent a lot of time sharing God's Word and worshiping in the fellowship of others.

While Campbell has since passed away, he has left us with beautiful music to remember him by, such as this emotionally charged hymn.

In The Garden has been covered many times by multiple artists over the years, each bringing a new sound to this classic written in 1912. You will often hear this song played at funerals as a testament of what is to come. 

As you can see in the video, Mr. Campbell's beautifully melodic voice and the peaceful words of the song inspires the audience to sing along and bring others to tears. Feel the testament to Campbell's spirituality and love of fellowship as you listen and watch the Arizona congregation's faces
