Opening Hymn
Hail Eternal! by whose aid
All created things were made;
Heav’n and earth, Thy vast design;
Hear us, Architect Divine!
May our work, begun in Thee,
Ever blest with order be,
And may we, when labours cease,
Part in harmony and peace.
By thy glorious Majesty –
By the trust we place in Thee –
By the badge and mystic sign –
Hear us, Architect Divine!
So Mote It Be.
Closing Hymn
Now the evening shadows closing,
Warn from toil to peaceful rest,
Mystic arts and rites reposing,
Sacred in each faithful breast.
God of Light! whose love unceasing,
Doth to all Thy works extend,
Crown our Order with Thy blessing,
Build; sustain us to the end.
Humbly now we bow before Thee
Grateful for Thy aid Divine;
Everlasting power and glory,
Mighty Architect! be Thine.
So Mote It Be.
