Hail! Masonry divine!
Glory of ages shine;
Long may'st thou reign!
Where'er thy lodges stand,
May they have great command,
And always grace the land,
Thou art divine.
Great fabrics still arise,
And grace the azure skies—
Great are thy schemes;
Thy noble orders are
Matchless beyond compare;
No art with thee can share;
Thou art divine.
Hiram, the architect,
Did all the craft direct
How they should build;
Sol'mon, great Israel's king.
Did mighty blessings bring.
And left us room to sing,
Hail, Royal Art!
