My brother, Masonry means much more
Than the wearing of a pin
Or carrying a paid up dues receipt
So the Lodge will let you in
You may wear an emblem on your coat
From your finger flash a ring
But if you're not sincere at heart
This doesn't mean a thing
It's merely an outward sign to show
The world that you belong
To this great Fraternal Brotherhood
That teaches right from wrong
What really counts lies buried deep
Within the human breast
Till Masonic teaching bring it out
And puts it to the test
If you practice out of Lodge
The things you learn within
Be just and upright to yourself
And to your fellowman
Console a Brother when he's sick
Or assist him when in need
Without a thought of personal reward
For any act or deed
Walk and act in such a way
That the world without can see
That none but the best can meet the test
Laid down by Masonry
Always live up to your trust
And do the best you can
Then you can proudly tell the world
You're a Mason ans a Man
