That sacred place, where Three in One On thy Omnipotence we rest, Grant us, great God, thy powerful aid Inspire us with thy grace divine; With thy revealed, holy Name : Chorus. All hail! great Architect divine! SELECT MASTER'S SONG. BY A COMPANION. HUNGARIAN AIR. THE vault arch-es o'er us and night broods a round, Not a whis-per is heard thro' the depth of the cave; All hearts, in the si-lence of secre- cy bound, Are read-ing the words, the great Ar-chi-tect gave: Their hearts to the Spir-it who ut-ter'd the whole. Now the work is completed and all are combin'd, We have laid in its secret and silent retreat We are seated in silence, and nothing can find Its way to our distant and mystical cave; And the watchman who guards not, our mandate shall bind In the deeper concealment of death and the grave; Be faithful and true, ever firm to your trust, In the lesson we give in the council of light, And the herald shall summon you forth from the dust, Above in the meeting of souls to unite. SELECT MASTER'S ANTHEM. [See Music, page 213.] "LET there be light," th' Almighty spoke,; To illume the rising earth! Well pleas'd the Great JEHOVAH stood; Chorus. In choral numbers masons join, To bless and praise this light divine, Parent of light! accept our praise! By choice selected, lo! we stand, By friendship join'd, a social band ! That love, that aid mankind! horus. In choral numbers, &c. |
