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.
