Ode to the pipe organ



O pipe organ, O pipe organ,
your lead praises to God,
O pipe organ, O pipe organ,
how beautiful you are!

Your trumpets are as loud as a lion’s roar,
and your flutes sweet as a doe prancing on the forest floor
your pedal notes rattle the windows with ease,
you are a magical creature who sings when he breathes

Your bass notes are tall as an old oak tree,
a colossal sound like the roar of a bear,
with your highest notes, as thin as leaves,
sweetly dancing through the air

O pipe organ O pipe organ,
our leader and friend,
with you we will praise Jesus,
our Savior to the end.
