THE ENTERED APPRENTICE’S SONG
1.. . . .Solo
Come, let us prepare; We
brothers that are,
Meet together on happy occasion;
Let’s drink, laugh and sing;
Our Wine has a Spring;
Here’s a health to an Accepted
Mason.
Chorus:
Let’s drink, laugh and sing:
Our Wine has a Spring,
Here’s a health to an Accepted
Mason.
2. Solo:
The world is in pain our secrets
to gain,
But still let them wonder and
gaze on;
‘Til they are shown the Light;
They ‘ll ne’er know
The Right Word or sign of an
Accepted Mason.
Chorus: ‘Til they ‘re shown
the Light, They ‘ll ne’er know
the Right Word or Sign of an
Accepted Mason.
3./Solo: ‘Tis this and ‘tis
that, they cannot tell what,
Why so many great Men of the
Nation,
Should Aprons put on, To make
themselves one,
With a Free or an Accepted
Mason.
Chorus: Should aprons put on, To
make themselves one
With a Free or an Accepted Mason
4. Solo: Great Kings, Dukes and
Lords have lived by their swords,
This our Mist’ry to put a good
grace on;
And ne’er been ashamed to hear
themselves named
With a Free or an Accepted
Mason.
Chorus: And ne’er been ashamed
to hear themselves named
With a Free or an Accepted
Mason.
5. Solo: Antiquity’s pride we
have on our side,
It makes each man just,in his
station,
There’s naught but what’s
good to be understood
By a Free or an Accepted Mason.
Chorus: There’s naught but
what’s good to be understood
By a Free
or an Accepted Mason.
6. Solo: We ‘re true and
sincere, we ‘re just to the Fair;
They ‘ll trust us on any
occasion,
No mortal can more the ladies
adore
Than a Free and an Accepted
Mason.
All standing and joining hands,
right over left.
7. Solo:
Then joyn hand in hand, T’
‘each other firm stand;
Let’s be merry and put a
bright face on:
What mortal can boast so noble a
toast
As a Free or an Accepted Mason.
Chorus:
What mortal can boast so noble a
toast
As a Free or an Accepted Mason
