A Poem From Montezuma's Most Famous Mason
Our Temple
by Bro. Charles Clyde Hunt
When our Temple of earth has been finished
And our tools have been laid aside,
When the sound of the gavel is silenced,
And on earth we no longer reside,
We shall rise at the Word of the Master,
And remember the way that we grew,
As the Master of All Good Workmen
Shall put us to work anew.And the faithful there shall be happy,
As they sit near the Golden East
When the gifted shall scorn not the dullard,
But aid both the great and the least.
We shall have real Masons to teach us,
Solomon, Hiram and Paul.
Whose lives have been squared by their service,
As they gave to us of their all.We there will build a new Temple,
Reflecting the will of our God,
Its portals be easy to enter,
For love is its entering rod.
Then each brother shall work without ceasing
For the God whose dealings are square,
He will build the Temple of greatness
For the God who in all things is fair.And only the Master shall praise us,
And only the Master shall blame,
And each for the love that is in him,
With never a thought of fame,
Shall build his part of the Temple,
With care for each detail,
That will raise a perfect structure,
A work that will never fail.
