When Petor sang tho rafters rang,
He made the great church reel,
His voice It rang . clarion ciang.
Or like Q cannon's peal.
Yes, Peter made the rafters ring
And never curbed his tongue:
Albeit Peter could not sing,
Yet Peter always sung.
An. wide did no his wild voice fling
Promiscuous and FREQ,
Despite the fact he could not'sing,
Why, all the moro sang he.
With clanorous ciang
And resonant bang
His thunders round he hung;
He could not sinR
One single thing;
Yet Peter always sang.
The choir sang oud and all the crowd
Took VI the holy strain: =
But Peters bawl rose over ell
Tempestuously plain.
The organ roared and msdly poured
It's music food around.
But Peter drowned its anthem loud
In cataracts OF ound
The people hushed. the choir grew still.
Still grew the organs tone,
Then Peters voice rose loud n nhrili,
For Peter sang alone.
His clamorous shout
Had drowned them out
And silenced every tongue,
He could not sing
One single thing!
Yet Peter always sung.
When Petes died the people cried.
For Peter he was good,
Although his voice produced q noise
Not easily withstood.
Though many cried when Peter died
And gained his golden Tyre.
They nursed o heartfelt sympathy
For heavens augmented choir.
They know where'sr his soul might DO
Loud would his accents ring.
He'd sing through all eternity
TIT songs he could not sing.
The heavenly choir
He'd make perspire
And heavenly arches ring,
Though he can't ring
One single thing
Forevermore he'll sing.
