A Royal Arch Song.
Bezaleel and Ahohab were likewise inspir'd By the Spirit of Wisdom , and for it admir'd , Well skill'd in all workmanship curious and true , Of scarlet and purple , fine Linen and blue . In the Wilderness , taught by our great Architect , A grand Tabernacle they then did erect , And Vessels they made of Gold that was- good , AVrought Silver , Brass , Stones , and fine Shittim Wood ,
Then Joshua was chosen to have tlje command , Who led them all safe into the Holy Land ; And to shew that , the Lord would his mercies fulfil , Sun and Moon at the order of Joshua stood still . Next David and Jonathan a Covenant made , By the Son of great Saul he ne ' er was betray'd ; And tho' strange , yet it's scriptural truth that I tell ,
That tlie Love-of Saul ' s Son did all Women ' s excel . David's Heart sove did ache this kind love to return , When for Saul's seven Sons the Lord ' s anger did burn : Then the Sons of great Saul King David did take , But spared Mephibosheth for his Oath ' s sake . Our noble Grand Masters appear next in view , Who built up the Templeso just and so true
, , The pattern which David from God had receiv'd , Who , not suffer'd to build , in his heart was sore griev ' c Our Secret divine , which had lain long eonceal'd , By a Light from above unto me was reveal'd ; Surpris'd with the radiance with which it did shine , I felt and confess'd it was something divine . Then having pass'd threeand both offer'd and burn'd
, , I soon gain'd admittance on that Holy Ground , And reveal'd unto me were the Myst ' ries I sought , Tho' the Light was by Darkness comprehended not . Being thus consecrated , I soon did accord To acknowledge Jehovah for God and- for Lord , Believ'd him the Source of the Light that did shine , And confess'd him to be our Grand Master divine .
Then join Hands and Hearts your voices to raise ; With the whole of Creation unite and sing Praise ; To the Power divine all Glory be given , By Men upon Earth , and by Angels in Heaven :

A GAIN . the swift revolvingjiours , - Bring January's frozen car ; Still discord on the nation low ' rs , Still reigns the iron power of war , Hush'd be awhile the tumult ' s storm , Awhile let concord ' s milder form Glide gently o'er each smiling plain ; While , as they weave the myrtle wreath The sporting loves and graces brealbc The hymeneal strain .
