Song , by Bro . Donaldson—prepared for the occasion—which was received with great applause . TUVE— Tho Old Oak . A song for the Lodge—the old St . Andrew Lodge ! That has lived in the light so long ! On the LKVKI , and SQUARE , we all repair To join in the feast and song ! In the days gone hy , there was joy in each eye , When the Charter save birth lo her name , On this festal night , in Masonic light * Let us join in one acclaim , In a sone ; for the Lodge—the old St . Andrew Lodge !
That lives not in light alone ! But doth honour and cheer the Grand Lodge here , Though a hundred years arc gone ! To the Lodges all that are here at the call , By name as by number ' * Free , " By Saint Andrew ' s cross , a bumper we'll toss With " Masonic" cheers by " three . " If brotherhood claim any more than a name , Let us build on tbe corner-stone ; And a Temple raise , that will draw the gaze When a hundred years are gone I Then a song for the Lodge—the old St . Andrew Lodge ! That has lived not in light alone ! But doth honour and cheer the Grand Lodge here . Though a hundred vears are gone !
A song for the Lodge—the old St . Andrew Lodge ! For by that sainted name , To each Mason here will be more dear , His country ' s honour and fame . May Glenlyon ' s * name , with Masonic fame , Descend on sculptured stone ! Be bis memory bright on St . Andrew ' s night , When a hundred years are gone ! Then a song for the Lodge , -fee .
