AIR . I . Band of Friendship ! best ceittent Of social minds , in Brothers' love ! Far hence be Envy , Discontent , And every ill which mortals prove .-No dark suspicion harbours here
, But all is open , all sincere : No curst informer listens to betray } But all is sunshine , all is day . CHORUS . No curst informer listens to betray ; ' But all is sunshine , all is day .
IIBut now to thee , fair Pity ' s child , . Sweet Charity , of aspect mild , The tributary lay is due——Vain are the joys of hoarded wealth To thine ; thou giv ' sr the rosy ' bloom of healt- % To sad Affliction ' s pallid hue ! These blessings , MASONRY , are thine ; Hail . ' sacred Science . —Mystery divine I
CHORUS . Theie blessings , MASONS y , are thine j Hail ! - . acred Science—Mystery divine ! GRAND CHORUS . Thou hol y Mystery ! first almighty Cause ! By thee the GREAT CREATOR fram'd his laws , V / hen Chaos heard th' almighty . for rung ,
And sacred Order from Confusion sprung ! The waters now collected flow'd ,, And as they murmur'd own'd the GOD . The mighty planets now he plac'd , Which , still revolving , speak his praise ; This . earth he- fram'd , with seasons grae'd , With heat infonn'd , each useful plant to raise .
The Sun lis fix'd , the central soul , To animate the mighty whole . Harmonious , regular they move , J :.-jf emblem of fraternal love . The laws of MASONRY are Nature ' s laws ; Hail , sacred Mjaery- ^ -fint Almi ghty Came !
