Descriptive data for this set (listed below slide images)

Slide 1

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'er-coming strife

Slide 6

It seem'd the harmonious echo from our discordant life

Slide 7**

And trembled away in silence, as if it were loth to cease

Slide 8

I have sought, but I seek it vainly, that one lost chord divine

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
