Father, Dear Father
Come Home With Me Now
Father, dear father, .come home with me 11ow!
The clock in the steeple strikes one.
You said
}'OU
w ere coming right home from the shop
As soon as your day's work was done.
Our fir e has gone out, our house is all dark,
And mother' s been watching since tea,
W ith poor brother B enny, so sick in her arms,
And no one to help her hut me.
Come home, come home, come home/
Please, fath er, dear father, come home/
Hear the sweet voice of the child,
W hich the night-'Winds repeat as they roam/
Oh, w ho could resist thfr most plai11tive of pray'rs'!
Please father, dear fath er, come home!
Father, dear father , come home with me now/
The clock
in
the steeple strikes two;
T he night has grown colder, and Benny is worse–
B ut he has been calling for you.
Indeed he is worse-Ma says he will die–
Perhaps before morning shall dawn ;
And this
is
the message she sent me to bring–
"
Come quickly, or he
will
be gone."
Come home
I
come home
I
come home!
Please fat her, dear fat her, come hom.e !
