Shivering in the cold

Author: K. Shaw Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Far back in my childhood, I remember to-day Refrain First Line: Yes, alone, all alone Lyrics: 1 Far back in my childhood, I remember to-day, I was happy and beloved, ere I wandered away. I was taught by my mother, who sleeps 'neath the stone, And caressed by my father, but I wander alone. Chorus: Yes, alone, all alone, And I feel I'm growing old; Yet I wander, oh, how lonely, I am shiv'ring in the cold. 2 I remember the maiden, and my heart bleeds to tell, How I loved her, her devotion--but on this I can not dwell. We were wed--our path was pleasant, and the sun of fortune shone, But alas! I took to drinking, and I wander alone. [Chorus] 3 I remember, too, my children, how they climbed upon my knee, As I kissed my little darlings, in the days when I was free. But I squandered all my fortune, I'm now without a home, I know it's all from drinking, that I wander alone. [Chorus] 4 But why do I stand trembling and blighted by this curse? I know I am not mending, I am only growing worse. I wander lone and friendless, I know I'm growing old, No home, no food, nor shelter, I am shiv'ring in the cold. [Chorus] 5 Oh, can I break this bondage--this awful chain in twain? Can I escape these shackles? can I be free again? Oh, help me, friends of temperance, my bondage is untold, While I wander lone and friendless--shiv'ring in the cold. [Chorus] Scripture: Proverbs 23:21 Used With Tune: [Far back in my childhood, I remember to-day]

Let us pray, always pray 'Till we rest on Canaan's happy shore. 2 Pray for the world in sin and darkness; Pray for the church, the blessed bride; Pray for thyself in humble meekness; Pray, living near the Savior's side; Pray for the sick and all in sorrow; Pray for the "watchmen on the wall;" Pray that a bright and golden morrow Waiteth for us one and all. [Chorus] 3 Pray for the Spirit's holy guidance; Pray for the grace of Jesus, too; Pray for a holy zeal to labor; Pray for a life devoted, true; Pray for the loving lambs enfolded; Pray for the wand'ring ones astray; Pray that the feet of all be guided Strait into the narrow way.

Its beauties forever are new; Its treasures are fadeless and pure, Its skies of celestial hue, Its inmates alone are secure, Its skies of celestial hue, Its inmates alone are secure. 3 The joys of that land never fade, The flowers are ever in bloom; No sorrow that land can invade, For it lies just beyond the tomb. Oh, when will our spirit ascend, To dwell in that beautiful climb! Where pleasures will never end, Beyond the dark sorrows of time, Where pleasures will never end, Beyond the dark sorrows of time.
