42. My Old Cottage Home

1 I am thinking tonight of my old cottage home,
That stands on the brow of the hill,
Where in life's early morning I once lov'd to roam,
But now all is quiet and still.

Chorus:
Oh, my old cottage home,
That stands on the brow of the hill,
Where, in life's early morning, I once lov'd to roam,
But now all is quite and still.

2 Many years have gone by since in pray'r there I knelt,
With dear ones around the old hearth;
But my mother's sweet prayers in my heart still is felt,
I'll treasure them up while on earth. [Chorus]

3 One by one they have gone from the old cottage home,
On earth I shall meet them no more;
But with them I shall meet round the beautiful throne,
Where parting will come never-more. [Chorus]
