The preacher in the village church one Sunday morning said: "Our organist is ill to-day, will someone play instead?" An anxious look crept o'er the face of every person there, As eagerly they watched to see who'd fill the vacant chair, A man then staggered down the aisle whose clothes were old and torn, How strange a drunkard seemed to me in Church on Sunday morn; But as he touched the organ keys, without a single word, The melody that followed was the sweetest ever heard.
