Last night I knelt where Hiram knelt
and took an obligation
today I'm closer to my God
and I'm a Master Mason
|
Tho' heretofore my fellow men
seemed each one like the other
today I search each one apart
I'm looking for my brother
|
And as I feel his friendly grip
it fills my heart with pride
I know that while I'm on the square
that he is by my side
|
His footsteps on my errand go
if I should such require:
His prayers will lead in my behalf
if I should so desire
|
My words are safe within his breast
as though within my own
his hand forever at my back
to help me safely home
|
Good counsel whispers in my ear
and warns of any danger
By square and compass, Brother now!
Who once would call me stranger
|
I might have lived a moral life
and risen to distinction
Without my Brothers helping hand
and fellowship of Masons
|
But God, who knows how hard it is
to resist life's temptations
knows why I knelt where Hiram knelt
and took that obligation.
