When the Organ Plays

My soul takes flight and soars above,
As marvels meet my gaze—
On Jacob's ladder, angels rest
And sing, when the organ plays.

Their voices rise in harmony
Beyond all mortal lays;
Their music stirs my inmost soul
To pray, when the organ plays.

Their melody is full of love,
Exalting to God's praise
The suppliants who humbly kneel
To pray, when the organ plays.
