Knights Templars SONG

God bless the Royal band, Who grace this happy land, With valiant Knights: May the united Three, Of the blest Trinity, Cement the unity Of all great lights.

Twelve once were highly lov'd, But one a Judas prov'd, Put out his fire: May Simon haunt all fools, Who vary from our rules, May the heads of such tools Rest high on spires.

No Turk nor Jew we'll fight, But in Religion's right Let all be blest Poor pilgrims begging we Will our Jerusalem see, All steps, sir Knights have ye Gloriously pass'd.

Enter'd, pass'd, rais'd, and arch'd, And then like princes, march'd, Through rugged ways; At length great lights we saw, And poor old Simon too, Also the word and law, Glory and praise.

God in his rainbow gave, Colours which now we have, Black, red, and blue, These colours emblems are Of royal love most rare, We are in souls sincere. Just, good, and true.

Sir knights clasp hand in hand, None but Knight Templars stand In circle round: May we all live in love, And ev'ry comfort prove, May mercy from above Fall on this ground.
