A Musician’s Earnest Plea

 Let my play my sweet, sweet piano and piccolo

Down in humble contrition and solemn solo,

Let every flat be Orpheus’ melancholic song

& every sharp be a chorus from the angelic throng

 

Let me play my sweet, sweet piano and piccolo

Along that Beulah’s borderland I ought to saw

May it be a song of sorrow or of mirth?

Aye! Tis a tone of splendorous worth

 

Let me play my sweet, sweet piano and piccolo

There to halt Philomel’s silence so sad and low

May it be there to bless a weary soul’s journey?

Aye! Every worry and sinful bowel to bury

 

Let me play my sweet, sweet piano and piccolo

A hum for that humble cobbler, pheasant and sow,

Who in their simplicity pity do they found?

Hark! O welkin, echo and shout thy heavenly sound!

 

Let me play my sweet, sweet piano and piccolo

With my Lord and savior there to play and show

“Amazing Grace” or “To God be the Glory” may it be?

O, what a bliss it is when I see the One who died for me!
