God bless Freemasonry!
Long live Freemasonry!
God save our Craft!
With compasses and square,
Let us find Beauty there,
Wisdom and Strength to share:
God save the Craft!

Great Architect arise,
Bring Light unto our eyes,
Raise up our souls:
Truth and fidelity,
Love and sincerity,
Join us in harmony,
From pole to pole.

God save our gentle Craft!
Long live our noble Craft!
God save our Craft!
Make us victorious,
with minds industrious,
and hearts illustrious,
God save the Craft
