Almighty and everlasting God, Thou Great Architect of Heaven and earth, be with us as we assemble here to honor our Past Masters.

We thank Thee for the principles of Brotherhood and Christian living which Thou hast given us.

Bless these builders of character who have rendered such faithful service in teaching and exemplifying these principles.

May they ever remind us of our duties and obligations as we follow in their footsteps, so that we too may inspire others to carry on this dedicated work, to the honor and glory of Thy Great name.

Amen.
