QUEEN'S ANTHEM .
BY ROBERT GILFILLAN , ESQ ., BARD TO TIIE GRAND LODGE OF SCOTLAND . " God save our Gracious Queen ,
Long may Victoria Reign—God save the Queen Send her Victorious—Happy and Glorious , Long to Reign over Us—God save the Queen !
" O Lord our God arise , Scatter her Enemies , —And make them fall . Confound their politics , —Frustrate their knavish tricks , On Her our hopes we fix , —God save us all ! " Thy choicest gifts in store ,
On Her be pleased to pour , —Long may She reign ! May She defend our laws—And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice—God save the Queen . " Had ! to the Mystic Band , Join'd here with heart and hand , —In love to all .
Long may their Watchword be , —Freedom and Charity , Fond Links of Masonry—That ne ' er shall fall . Not temples tow ' ring high , Nor domes that touch the sky , —Alone they prize . Theirs is a nobler sphere—To love , to virtue dear , —
To chase the falling tear—From weeping eyes . Proud domes shall fade away , And temples shall decay ;—But this shall stand . TRUTH , —badge of Liberty—And glorious CHARITY , — High bond of Masonry—O ' er every land !
Hail ! LIGHT from highest Heaven , Darkness from earth is driven , —When thou dost shine , Many shall mark thy ray—Dawn of a brighter day , — That lights the ORPHAN ' way— TO Virtue ' s shrine .
