E'er time's great machine was in motion  3-5 
All hail! to the morning  5-6 
I sing the Mason's glory  6-8 
When the Senior Warden, standing in the West 
Now the Junior Warden calls us from our labours  8-9 
Freemasons all, attend the call  9-10 
Come brothers, let us cheerful sing  10-12 
To the Knight Templar's awful dome  12 
Almighty sire! our heavenly king  13 
Unite, unite, your voices raise  13-14 
When earth's foundation first was laid  14 
E'er God the universe began  15 
Not the fictions of Greece, nor the dreams of old Rome  15-16 
Ye dull stupid mortals, give o'er your conjectures  16-17 
Whilst princes and heroes promiscuously fight  17-18 
No sect in the world can with Masons compare  18-19 
When my divine Althea's charms  19 
On, on, my dear brethren, pursue your great lecture  20 
Let Masonry from pole to pole  20 
Ye sons of fair science, impatient to learn  21 
Hail Masonry divine  21-22 
Come let us prepare  22-23 
When a lodge of Free Masons are cloth'd in their aprons  23-25  10 
How happy a Mason whose bosom still flows  25 
In hist'ry we're told, how the lodges of old  25-26 
When Masonry expiring lay, by knaves and fools rejected  26-28 
Hail Masonry! thou sacred art  28 
Come ye Masons hither bring  28-29 
Whilst each poet sings of great princes and kings  29-30 
When the sun from the East first salutes mortal eyes  30-31 
Of all institutions to form well the mind  31-32 
Once I was blind and could not see  32-33 
Ye gracious powers of choral song  34-35  10 
Dear brothers of fraternal mind  35-37 
Come, come, my brethren dear  37-38 
So much of Masonry's been sung  38-39 
Adieu, a heart, fond warm adieu  30-40 
Here social love serenely smiles  40-41 
Conven'd we're met my jovial souls  41-42 
Arise, my brethren, let us arise  42-44  13 
Curiosity labours and longs for to know  44-45 
Ye Masons look round, and hark to the sound  45-46 
Assembled and tyl'd, let us social agree  46 
Bacchus open all thy treasure  47 
To all who Masonry despise  47-48 
Assist my muse, thy influence bring  48-49 
Some folks have with curious impertinence strove  49-50 
Come are you prepar'd  50-51 
Come follow, follow me  51-52 
With plumb, level, and square, to work let's prepare  52-53 
King Solomon, that wise projector  53-54 
When orient Wisdom beam'd serene  55-56 
O what a happy thing it is  56 
Columbia's sons, attend awhile  56-57 
Ye thrice happy few  57-59 
As long as our coast does with whiteness appear  59 
Thus happily met, united and free  59-60 
In times of old date, when (as stories relate)  60-61 
Lightly o'er the village green  61-62 
Mason's life's the life for me, A  62-63 
When quite a young spark  63-64 
What joys do the Craft on each Mason bestow  65 
There liv'd, as fame reports, in days of yore  66-70  28
