A Royal Arch Song.
A ROYAL ARCH SONG .
COMPANIONS , as we now assemble ; Round our " Holy Arch" to-day , In fraternal loving friendship , Mid cheerful hearts and glad array May we seek to guard in memory , When we separate once more , All that goodly truth and teaching We have heard in hallow ' cl lore .
Round our mystic shrine and holy To trusty " sojourners " as of old , Our " Mystagogue , " in reverent accents , Does Great Wisdom ' s words unfold ; And we bow in adoration As we listen to the tale Of tradition ' s startling wonders ; Doubts in vain our faith assail .
Through the mists of many ages A gleam seems brig ht ' ning up the past , As meets in the " beloved cit y " The " Grancl and Royal Lodge " at last ; And in words of exultation Which serve to move all hearts around , Rejoicing voices bear the witness , " The long , long , lost is found . "
Let the sceptic rail and blunder , List not to sciolist ' s cynic strain ; We have gathered to our " mysteries , " Believing , loving , once again . Hail thou " Holy Arch " of Zion ! Hail unerring sacred Word ! One day au Universal Chapter
Shall own our King , and Judge , and Lord . M .
