An Organ Rack-light – Forth springs the music from console and key –whispering, murmuring, thundering free! –Lessening loneliness, comforting care, shouting a triumph, breathing a prayer. Only the organist glimpses a light helping the harmony spring into flight. It clasps the dark rack with the calm of a sage, up- tilting its ray to the note-spangled page. Hid by the organ, it sows forth the song, asking no plaudit of cleric or throng. Silent, self-giving, the lamp glimmers free, as forth springs the music from console and key. Donor: Miss Lou Fisher, Philidelphia, PA, given during Lent, 1952
