A FREEMASON′S PRAYER Canon J. W. Horsley Almighty Architect! Whose mind Hath planned all things that be, Whose thought is law, whose law is Love, Whose love Fertility. Help us to reverence Thy mind, And see Thy Temple in mankind. Let there be light––Thy primal voice We echo, nor in vain The hidden mysteries explore That all Thy works contain, Yet pray for humbleness and awe In tracing Thine enfolding law. Let there be life, it follows on For light smiles not on death, And light is life and life is light When man remembereth Thy name and will, and thinks it joy To labor if in Thine employ. Let there be love, for Thou art love. Ah! Father, none can view With filial love Thy Fatherhood But love his brother too. If charity our heart has filled, Cementing stone to stone we build. Wisdom, and Strength, and Beauty form The pillars of Thy throne; Each in its perfect self belongs To Thee, to Thee alone; Yet may they gleam before our eyes To make us strong, and clean, and wise. By Faith establish well our ways, Bid Hope expand our view And crown Thy gifts with golden Love, Which maketh all things new. Then shall our light before men shine Because they mark that we are Thine. -So Mote It Be ~ Amen!!
