Classic Poem

THE ENTERED APPRENTICE .

Where two or three assemble round,
In work the Lord approves,
His spirit with the group is found,
It is the place He loves;
Be now all hearts to friendship given,
For we, the Sons OF Light , are seven .

Bring here the Gavel and the Gauge ,
Those implements renowned;
And from each conscience disengage
The faults that there are found;
Be now afar each folly driven,
For we, the Sons OF Light , are seven .

Display the Law — the volume grace
With Compass and with Square;
Illume the Tapers in their place,
And all for work prepare;
We'll please our Master well this even,
For we, the Sons OF Light , are seven .

Spread o'er us yon rich Canopy ,
Set up the Ladder high,
That angel visitants may see,
And from their stations fly,
Where Faith, Hope, Charity are given,
And we, the Sons OF Light , are seven .
