COME AWA' HAME.

« Sale tranohled, an' w«jary, sad Bad, and forlorn, Her halrt like her beanty »' bhuded an* torn, Nae smile on hot pale faoe, naa lloht In her e'e, Bat dowle, an' waefa' as waefa 1 oan be. Naae la there tie help her, vane oomfort tao gle her, Bat sorrow an' wank, companions aye wl' her. Oh, aair, sale la her ,hairt, salr, b*lb does i fihe greet When &wa frao hoe htme-™hor hame the ocnld street. Oh think nae ower hardly as ehe winners her lane, ' Her faither lang palried, her mlthe? laog ! gane Neglected by friend, an' foraiken by a', She warmers and winners a*a' an 1 aw*.' I Oh, jadga her nae harshly, c'en judge i nae at a', He keoe her temptations, her Ilka pltfa'— - The Malntet hat said It, an' blest be Sla name — * When ye tire o 1 the darkoeaa, oome awa' Hame.' Some cheep will aye slip through the bars o' the fauld, An 1 wanner awa' m the mirk an' the cauld, But tho tihepherd'a aye watohio', Hla words aye the same, ' When ye tire o' the darkness pome a.wa' Hame,' There's Ane wha'a strong airm's aphaudlnjnaa', Thongh some lose the grip, an' some step awa'. He kens o' ooi doonf^' oor Bin and our ehame, But Btlll he oayg gently, 'Oh ! coma awa' Hame. Oh ! bleet be the sweet words — beloved auld atory, The love an' the hope an' the btichtneau an glory, The Btr «ngth o 1 His love an' the power o' His Name — 1 When ye tire o' the darkness come awa' Fame.' 0.
