We Swear to Be True to a Brother
Dear Friends of the Square, let us cherish the faith ,
Though broken and torn every other:
Remember THE VOW ; — we swore unto death
We would cling, hand and heart , to a Brother!
Then raise up to God, up to God the left hand!
With mine join, with mine join the other!
Though war blow the blast, and with death strew the land,
W E SWEAR TO BE TRUE TO A B ROTHER !
The E AST lends its light, though the world is at war;
The S OUTH shines in glory and beauty;
The W EST gently smiles o'er fields drenched in gore, —
They teach to the Mason his duty!
The Badge of the Craft is unsullied as yet —
From war's dust and blood let us fold it!
The Page of our History, brilliant with light;
Let's swear thus in honor to hold it!
G REAT G OD ! from Thy Throne view the nation at strife!
T HY G AVEL must heal this disorder!
Send Peace o'er the land! give Refuge and Life!
Be T HOU , L ORD , our Saviour and Warder!
