The Three Stars.
THE THREE STARS .
( From the Gentian of __ . C'ramoUni . ) BY UnO . C . A . AUSTIN , OF LODGE 698 . Know'st thou the brightest Paradise of Souls , Au Eden , where the plants of heaven bloom , A portion that the Master great bequeath'd
When came the dreadful hour of his doom ? Know ' st thou it then ? 'Tis Faith , ' tis Faith so bright , That strengthens , elevates , ancl leads us To Eternal Light .
Know st thou that lofty feeling of the breast , That self-denying doth for others plan , That soothes a Brother ' s pain , a Brother ' s pleasure shares , Beholds with tears of joy the happiness of man ? Know ' st thou it then ? 'Tis love , ' tis sacred Love That lights the gloom of night , ancl calls The sunshine from above .
Know st thou the Star that shines e en in the grave , Through Life ' s dark voyage a bright heavenly Guide , That when Earth ' s happiness hath sunk to dust , As Masons " yet a greater far" shall teach us to provide ? Know ' st thou it then ? ' Tis Hope dispels the gloom ; For her sweet flowers blossom E'en around the lonely tomb .
The RIasons' workshop then , adorn these three , Bright Faith , and Love , and Hope , for ever kind ; Thus Brethren , hail I our Masonry—Thus are the Future ' s portals open'd to the mind . Receive Salvation 1 Know the Light divine , Ancl Heaven itself hereafter shall be thine .
