Classic Poem

His laws inspire our being—
Our light is from His sun;
Beneath the E YE A LL -S EEING ,
Our Mason's work is done;
His Plumb line in uprightness
Our faithful guide shall be;
And in the S OURCE OF BRIGHTNESS
Our willing eyes shall see.

T HOU , F ATHER , art the Giver
To every earnest prayer!
O, be the G UIDE forever
To this, our Brother dear!
By law and precept holy,
By token, word and sign,
Exalt him, now so lowly,
Upon this GRAND DESIGN .

Within thy Chamber name him
A WORKMAN , wise and true!
While loving Crafts shall claim him
In bonds of friendship due;
Thus shall the walls extol T HEE ,
And future ages prove
What Masons ever call T HEE ,
T HE G OD OF T RUTH AND L OVE !
