English poem
Songs, Song
by James Lyon (?–1854)
Come fill up a bumper, and let it go round, Let mirth and good fellowship always abound; And let the world see, That Free-masonry, Doth teach honest souls to be jovial and free.
Our lodge now compos'd of honest free hearts, Our Master most freely his secrets imparts; And so we improve, In knowledge and love, By help from our mighty Grand-Master above.
Let honour and friendship eternally reign, Let each brother Mason the truth so maintain; That all may agree, That Free-masonry, Doth teach honest souls to be jovial and free.
In Mirth and good fellowship we will agree, For none are more blest or more happy than we; And thus we'll endure, While our actions are pure Kind heaven those blessings to us doth insure.
