THE PRAYER . GREAT and adorable Architect of the Universe , supreme Grand Master of thy intelligent creatures , we praise and thank thee for all thy mercies to us , and , especially for giving us desires to enjoyand powers of enjoying the delights of society .
, The fraternal affections which thou hast implanted in us , and which we cannot destroy without doing violence to our nature , are among the chief blessings . which thy benign wisdom hath bestowed upon us . May we , under the influence of thy grace , duly use these benefits by promoting thy glory in the worldand the good of our fellow-creatures . But as these
, great ends cannot be accomplished without our improvement in knowledge and virtue , enable us to conquer those impediments which ignorance and vice have laid in our way . May we be active under the auspices of thy Divine Light , in perusing the dictates of truth , and renouncing the destructive maxims and customs of the vicious . . Give us to see our
errors , and resolution to correct and amend them . May we be assimilated daily more and more to thy example , by improving in true affection to ail our brethren . To us , particularly , who are now entering into a fraternal compact , under peculiar obligations , extend thy favoring regard . Enable us to be faithful to thee , faithful in our several stations and callings of life , faithful Masons in all the duties of the Craft , and faithful to each other as Members of this Society .
