Posted By: Joseph Ricks on March 13, 2006 Last Night I Knelt Where Hiram Knelt Last Night I Knelt where Hiram Knelt And took an obligation, And now I'm closer to my God, For I'm a Master Mason. The heretofore my fellowmen seemed Each one like the other, Today I search each one apart, I'm looking for "My Brother". And as I feel his friendly grip It fills my heart with pride I know that while I'm on the square That he in on my side. His footsteps on my errand go If I should such require, His prayer will plead in my behalf If I should such desire. My words are safe within his breast As though within my own, His hand forever on my back To help me safely home. Good counsel whispers in my ear And warns of any danger, By square and Compass, 'Tis Brother now!" Who once would call me stranger. I might have lived a moral life And risen to distinction Without my Brother's helping hand And the fellowship of Masons; But God who knows how hard it is To resist life's temptations Knows why I knelt where Hiram knelt And took that obligation.
