What is it?
A large wooden machine to play or thereby sit.
A better answer is a God-given piece of art,
Put together by craftsmen part by part.
After final assembly, there it will stand,
Now this majestic beauty is to be played – Oh, so grand!
This perfect instrument must be practiced on, to be good,
That is what an accomplished organist does, perfection is understood.
Many composers and organists have come and gone,
But their memories and legacies are reflected in many a song.
To see and hear beautiful music is something to behold,
It is truly the king of instruments, that is what we’re told.
There is no doubt about it,
Terrific music emanates around an organ as we sit,
Thank God, there are people that fix, repair and build them,
And each of us is privileged to hear each song, a heaven’s gem.
