Slide set: The lost chord (song: Bamforth & Co., 10 slides, 1898)

Descriptive data for this set (listed below slide images)
Slide 1
Intro. with title
Slide 2
Seated one day at the organ, I was weary and ill at ease
Slide 3
But I struck one chord of music like the sound of a great Amen
Slide 4
It flooded the crimson twilight like the close of an angel psalm
Slide 5
It quieted pain and sorrow like love o'ercoming strife
Slide 6
It seemed the harmonious echo from our discordant life
Slide 7
And trembled away into silence as if it were loth to cease
Slide 8
I have sought, but I seek it vainly
Slide 9
It may be that death's bright angel will speak in that chord again
Slide 10
It may be that only in Heaven I shall hear that grand Amen
