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!
