House of God
A minimalist devotional poem and hymn
House of God has many pews one after the other in polished rows humbled beneath their exalted height, celestial arches leading through God’s hall, built tall to humble all. —Lesley Scoble, September 2026

NOTES
Listening to my poem interpreted as a hymn brought back memories of a visit to the John Wesley Chapel in London. While looking at the organ, I fell into conversation with a cleric, who explained that it had belonged to Charles Wesley. Charles, the younger brother of John Wesley, was one of the great hymn writers of the eighteenth century and is credited with thousands of hymns, including Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. To my delight, the cleric then invited me to play the organ. It’s not every day one gets the chance to play Charles Wesley’s organ, is it‽
