The Beacon Light

Today in Masonic History we present The Beacon Light by Rob Morris.

A city set upon a hill
Cannot be hid;
Exposed to every eye, it will
Over surrounding plain and vale,
An influence shed,
And spread the light of peace afar,
Or blight the land with horrid war.

Each Mason's Lodge is planted so
For high display;
Each is a BEACON LIGHT, to show
Life's weary wanderers as they go,
The better way;
To show by ties of earthly love,
How perfect is the Lodge above!

Be this your willing task, dear friends,
While laboring here;
Borrow from Him who kindly lends
The heavenly ladder that ascends
The higher sphere;
And let the world your progress see,
Upward by FAITH, HOPE, CHARITY.
