THE BEST EVENT IN A MASON'S LIFE
I heard a knock on the Temple door,
And then it opened wide,
I felt the grip of a Mason's hand,
As I slowly passed inside.
|
I was lowered down on bended knees,
As a prayer was said for me,
And then I was helped to pass around,
For the Brethren all to see.
|
And all to me was like black of night,
As my leader took me round,
And my racing heart I heard more clear,
Than the solemn organ sound.
|
My faltering footsteps here and there,
Were halted on my way,
And several questions were put to me,
As I struggled not to sway.
|
With my right hand resting on the Law,
I took my Obligation,
I swore I'd be a Mason true,
At my Initiation.
|
I shall not tell more what I saw,
Or what to me was spoken,
But I saw the sign and heard the word,
And felt the Masons token.
|
I'll tell you this that I heard a Charge,
(Which I later learnt by heart),
And it told me all that a man should do,
As a Mason from the start.
|
It matters not if you pass the chair,
Or reach the highest station,
The best event in a masons life,
Is his Initiation
