And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 
Genesis 3:8 Amp

I wonder if they remembered 
Once the garden gate swung closed 
The times they had walked with Father there 
While His light served as their clothes 

When only echoes still remained 
Of the voice their souls once thrilled 
In the silence did they long to hear 
Words of the Fathers will? 

Were they expecting soon the promised day 
And a birth on the blackest of nights 
Of a Child and a Lamb with God’s message for man 
In deep darkness The Word shining bright 

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:3 ESV
