He’s a Drunkard To-night

Author: C. H. G. Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Somewhere tonight in this cold, dreary world Refrain First Line: Pity the boy! Pity the boy Lyrics: 1 Somewhere tonight in this cold, dreary world, Wanders a boy that I cherish so, Treading the dark and the unbidden road, Leading to misery, pain and woe; Gentle and true, not a sin to blight, When but a babe he was my delight, Pure as the snow and as spotless white, Yet, oh, my God, he’s a drunkard tonight! Refrain: Pity the boy! Pity the boy! Angels might weep at beholding the sight; Oh! how I lov’d him, the child of my heart, Yet, oh, my God, he’s a drunkard tonight! 2 When but a babe in my arms he did lie, Tenderly watching his slumbers o’er, Oh, how my heart with emotions would fill, Dreaming sweet dreams that may come no more, Still in the hall I can hear his feet, Softly his voice comes in accents sweet, As he, of old, would his pray’r repeat, Oh, can it be, he’s a drunkard tonight? [Refrain] 3 Father, give ear to a poor mother’s pray’r! O! save my boy, in thy mercy, save! Show him the terror, the woe and despair, Show him the curse of a drunkard’s grave, Give back my boy as he used to be,— Take all the world, it is vain to me, Give back the child to his mother’s knee, That none can say, “he’s a drunkard tonight!” [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Somewhere tonight in this cold, dreary world]

O the old house at home, O the old house at home, My heart never changes for the old house at home; O the old house at home, O the old house at home, My heart never changes for the old house at home. 2 It was not for its splendor that dwelling was dear; It was not that the gay and the noble were near; O’er the porch the wild rose and the ivy entwined, And the jessamine fragrantly waved in the wind, But dearer to me than proud turret or dome, Is the home of my father, the old house at home; For ‘twas there at the feet of my mother, In the old house at home where me forefathers dwelt. O the old house at home, O the old house at home, My heart never changes for the old house at home; O the old house at home, O the old house at home, My heart never changes for the old house at home. 3 But the old house no more is a dwelling for me; The home of the stranger henceforth it must be; And I never shall room in its rooms as a guest, Never roam thro’ the fields that my father possessed, But still in my dreams where’er I may roam, Sweet visions will come of the old house at home; For ‘twas there at the feet of my mother, In the old house at home where me forefathers dwelt. O the old house at home, O the old house at home, My heart never changes for the old house at home; O the old house at home, O the old house at home, My heart never changes for the old house at home. 4 There’s the “New House” for me that is not made with hands; ‘Tis a mansion in heaven, eternal it stands, By the river of life, where the streets are of gold, And the gates are of pearl, it can never be sold, And soon I shall go to the land of the blest, To meet with mother and the loved ones at rest; And ‘tis there ‘round a throne pearly white we shall sing, In that “New House” at “Home,” ‘tis the home of a King! O the new house at home, O the new house at home, My soul now is longing for the new house at home; O the new house at home, O the new house at home, My soul now is longing for the new house at home. Used With Tune: [O the old house at home where my forefathers dwelt]
