Classic Poem

Ask , and ye shall receive;
S EEK , ye shall surely find;
K NOCK , ye shall no resistance meet,
If come with ready mind;
For all that ASK , and ask aright,
Are welcome to our Lodge to-night.

Lay down the bow and spear;
Resign the sword and shield;
Forget the arts of warfare here,
The arms of peace to wield;
For all that SEEK , and seek aright,
Are welcome to our Lodge to-night.

Bring hither thoughts of peace;
Bring hither words of love;
Diffuse the pure and holy joy
That cometh from above;
For all that KNOCK , and knock aright,
Are welcome to our Lodge to-night.

Ask help of H IM that's high;
S EEK grace of H IM that's true;
K NOCK patiently, the hand is nigh,
Will open unto you;
For all that ASK, SEEK, KNOCK aright,
Are welcome to our Lodge to-night.
