wrong Though wo fool ourselves opprost , Still our trial is not for long . Masons , soek that gift in prayer , Silence loaves yo no romorso ; Strive in moekness to forbear—Think of Jesus on tho Cross . Silonco ! mighty is thy power
, Blest aro thoy who can rofrain , Who , in provocation's hour , Can their impulses rostrain . Masons , seek for grace in prayor ; Silonco brings ye no regret , If in pationco wo forbear God will grant us victory yet .
