Almighty Father of mankind, grant unto (this,
these) (Brother, Brethren), who for fifty years, (has, have)
been a member of our fraternity, the blessings of life, health
and strength, and the daily provisions of Thy good and all wise
providence.
Grant, O Lord, we beseech Thee, that as our (Brother,
Brethren) continue through life, (he, they) may have rest from
every burden, grace to meet every need, and to receive from
Thee, an abiding peace that passeth all understanding.
May the light of Thy countenance shine upon (him,
them), and may faith, hope and love ever brighten (his, their)
years that (he, they) may dwell in Thy love all the days of
(his, their)(life, lives).
These blessings we ask in the name of the Supreme
Architect of the Universe, to whom be glory and honor forever
more.
Amen.
