HE ANSWERED THE CALL

We do not grieve,
Nor are we sad,
To claim reward
A life well‑spent,

A mason true by level tested,
With virtue rare,
a heart invested,
And love to every brother man,
Foundation stone of God's great plan.

We who know,
As they go From God' s hand,
God's Command.

A key‑stone in the Arch of Life,
Cemented strong,
nor wind nor strife Can mar its beauty,
dim its parts,
Within the Holy Royal Arch.

True Patriot,
in his Country's need,
Great soldier,
such a one to lead; Good Mason,
Husband,
Brother,
Friend,
True to his God! Can such life end?

Within our hearts and minds he lives,
Nor death can seal the love he gives; The passing years will net er obscure The memory of a life so pure.

And as the years go swiftly by,
The impress of his life will lie A monument to his memory,
A life of faith and constancy.

We do not grieve,
He heard the call,
The door is ope'd,
Blessed are those
