THE CHURCH BACK HOME.

When the big pipe organs swellin' an
the city choir sings,
An you almost hear the swishin' of the
lovin' angels wings,
An the congregations musin' on the
proneness for to sin.
Sort o leanin' listless, waitin' for the
preacher to begin;
In that holy hush it happens that clean
forget the place,
An again I'm meek an lowly fore
throne of sayin' grace;
\ throne that wasn't nestlin' meath
spire or II dome,
But the sinners sought their Savior in
that little church back home.
When we had protracted meetin's, why,
'twould done you good to hear
The congregation singin' with a blend o
voices clear,
How the Rock of Ages" lowered like a
shelt'rin' sort o wall,
An our souls scared up to glory since
the Rock was cleft for all.
Ev'ry face was wreathed with sweetness,
an we always had smile
For the stranger, saint or sinner, in the
pew across the aisle;
For diamonds often gathered from the
commonest of loan
An we didn't mind the settin' In the little
church back home.
There We're weddin's where the neigh
bors gathered in from far an wide,
An the boys looked ON in envy while
their sisters kissed the bride;
There were fun'rals, too, where neigh
bors didn't feel ashamed to cry
When they laid to rest the sleeper in the
little yard close by
Each pew seems sort O. sacred, an the
lowly pulpit there
Pears like holy gateway to frma-
ment that's fair;
Where the sweet, supernal sunshine soft
ly scattered sorrows gloom
An let's us enter heaven from the little
church back home.
The city choir's voices rise in cadences
so sweet
AS they sing about the river where the
sainted ones shall meet.
An the preachers coice is pleadin' as he
asks us, soft and low,
To treat all men as brothers in this
weary vale of woe.
This city church is handsome, an the
congregations large,
The preachers doin' nobly with his heav-
en- seekin' charge.
The choir's swelln' anthems goar to
heaven through the dome,
But my old heart is sighin' for the little
church back home.
