Let Masonry from pole to pole,
Her sacred laws expand,
Far the mighty waters roll,
To wash remotes land
That virtue has not left mankind,
Her social maxms prove,
For stamp'd upon the Masons mind,
Is UNITY AND Love.
Ascending to her native sky,
Let Masonry inc rease;
A glorious Pillar raised on high,
INTEGRITY its base.
Peace adds to Olive boughs, entwned,
An EMBLEMATIc DOVE,
As stamp'd upon the Mason's mind,
Is UNITY AND LOVE.

When eaiths foundation first was laid,
By the Almighty Artists hand,
Twas then our perfect, perfect laws made,
Established by his strict command,
CHoRus-Ha! mysterious, hail, glorious Masonry,
That makes great and free.
As man throughout 70 shelter sought.
In vain from place to place did roam,
Until from heaven, from heaven he was taught
To plan to build, to fix his home.
Hail! mysterious, &c.
Hence, lustrious rose our art,
And now in beauteous piles appear;
Which shall to endless, to endless time mpart
How worthy and how great we are.
Hail mysterious, &c.
