Recapture the Wonders by an Organist.
An appreciation for our organists in Churches.Writen by an Organist...
Seated one day at the organ
I was weary and ill at ease,
And my fingers wandered idly
Over the noisy keys.
I know not what I was playing
Or what I was dreaming then,
But I struck one chord of music
Like the sound of a great "Amen"
It flooded the crimson twilight
Like the close of an angel's psalm,
And it lay on my fevered spirit
Like the touch of infinite calm.
It quieted pain and sorrow
Like Love overcoming strife,
It seemed the harmonious echo
Of our discordant life.
It linked all perplexed meanings
Into one perfect peace,
And it trembled away into silance
As if it were loathe to cease.
I have sought but I seek it vainly--
That one lost chord divine--
That came from the soul of the organ
And entered into mine
It may be that death's bright angel
Will speak in that chord again,
It may be that only in heaven
I shall hear that grand "Amen"
