Masonic Verse

Now the laborer’s task is o’er;
Now the battle day is past;
Now upon the farther shore
Lands the voyager at last.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping,
Leave me now
Thy servant sleeping.
“Earth to earth and
dust to dust,”
Calmly now the words we say,
Left behind, we wait in trust
For the resurrection day.
Father, in thy gracious keeping,
Leave me now
Thy servant sleeping.

John Ellerton



Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.
