Our poor and penniless brethren dispersed over land and sea	A
Masonic Sentiment	B
	-
	-
	-
They met in the festive hall	C
Lamps in their brightness shone	D
And merry music and mirth	E
Aided the feast of St John	F
Men pledged the health of their Queen	G
And of all the Royal band	H
The flags of a thousand years	I
The swords of their motherland	H
	-
Then mid the revelry came	J
The sound of a mournful strain	K
Like a minor chord in music	L
A sweet but sad refrain	K
It rose on the heated air	M
Like a mourner's earnest plea	A
Our poor and penniless brethren	N
Dispersed over land and sea	A
	-
Poor and penniless brethren	N
Scattered over the world	O
Want and misfortune and woe	P
Round them fierce darts have hurled	O
Wandering alone upon mountains	Q
Sick and fainting and cold	R
Lying heart broken in prisons	Q
Chained in an enemy's hold	R
	-
Dying in fields of combat	S
With none to answer back	T
The masonic sign of distress	U
Left on the battle's track	T
Shipwrecked in foaming waters	V
Clinging to broken spars	V
Dying this night of St John	F
Mid the ocean and the stars	V
	-
Others with hunger faint we	A
Taste these rich and varied meats	V
Oppression gives them no home	W
But dark and desolate streets	V
Oh God of mercy hear us	V
As we ask a boon for Thee	A
For poor and penniless brethren	N
Dispersed over land and sea	A
	-
Poor and penniless brethren	N
Ah in the Master's sight	X
We all lay claim to the title	Y
On this our festival night	X
Lone pilgrims journeying on	F
Towards light that points above	Z
Treading the chequered earthworks	A
Till we reach the land of love	Z
	-
Work up to the landmark brothers	A
We shall not always stay	A2
The falling shadows warn us	A
To work in the light of day	A2
How often our footsteps turn	B2
Where a brother's form is hid	C2
Oft we cast evergreen sprigs	A
On a brother's coffin lid	C2
	-
Thou who dost give to each	D2
Some appointed post to hold	R
Teach us to cherish the weak	E2
To give Thy silver and gold	R
To guard as a soldier guards	A
Honor and Love's pure shrine	F2
To give our lives for others	A
As Thou did'st for us give Thine	F2
	-
To Masons all over the world	O
Give wisdom to work aright	O
That they may gather in peace	A
Their working tools at night	O
May love's star glitter o'er each	D2
Amid darkness storm or mist	O
As on this night of St John	F
Our Blest Evangelist	O
