A MASONIC HYMN.
By the Honorable Brother Robert Wright.
Hail Great Jehovah, God of Love,
Whom heaven and earth adore,
Hosannas sung to him above,
His love divine implore.
His holy laws let all obey,
Inscribed on every heart;
His glory sing by night and day,
To every soul impart.
No sect shall e'er, with impious sway,
Our Mystic union break;
Jehovah's standard we'll display,
And that we'll ne'er forsake.
To man we'll yield a Brother's love,
The great command of heaven,
Created by one God above,
Cemented by his leaven.
In every age, in every clime,
Jehovah was the same,
To all, he taught his law divine.
To glorify his name.
Let us proclaim that God of Love,
Who doth our hearts entwine ;
His standard bear to realms above,
The infinite sublime.
