TO him who rules be homage paid
Where hearts with voice unite
TO him we bring fraternal aid,
Who guides in solemn rite.
Come Brothers bound by kindly ties
Your notes harmonious bring;
While acts OF generous sacrifice,
In thoughts OF love, We sing.
As days and years roll silent by,
As times sad changes rise,
No doubt shall dim the trusting eye
Where rule the good and wise.
70 him who rules BE- homage paid,
Where hearts With voice unite
Till life shall cease and time shall fade,
Wen bring our solemn plight.

Spirit of inefable Heavenly love, descend
And sacred Friendship. mans fuprsmest joy,
With Godlike Truth, eternal forming as ye blend,
loving Triad time ne'r destroy
In bonds Of amiiy and peace
Bind yet more closely each fraternal heart,
That loving Kindness may increase
Andeyery evil thing from hence depart
So that with one soul uttered grateful yoice
We raise the song TO Heavens arch on hgh
For it wisely eaid we should rejoice
Rejoice and not bewal when good men die.
Hail TO thy memory. Columbia's honored son;
Reyered through all agest immortal WAsniNGroN.
Glory, unfolding sheds Its lustre on thy name,
Which shall endure wbi 9 rssteth land and sea-
Coeyal with the records Of the country's fame
For In thy pathway followed liberty.
Aud anarchy and dscord srove
In vain for never was thy banner furled
Until the Geo Of peace and love
Gave freedom to the western world.
It's not alone the warrior chief praise
Though topmost he, the best among the bast
But that he did earth temple raise,
Whose Key stone shall in Heaven for ever rest.
Han to thy memory Coumbias honored son,
Reyered throrgn all ages the immortal Washington.
