Lodge Houstoun St Johnstone No 242 Ancient , Free and Accepted Masons of Scotland

The Mason’s code

My Brother

The Mason’s code means so much more than the wearing of a pin

or carrying paid up dues receipts , so a lodge will let you in

you may wear an emblem on your coat, and from your finger , flash a ring

but if your not sincere at heart , it does not mean a thing

it’s merely an outward sign to show that you belong

To this fraternal brother hood that teaches right from wrong

what really counts lies deep within the human breast

Masonic teaching’s bring it out and put it to the test

If you practice out the lodge the things your taught within

be just and upright to yourself, and to your fellow man

console a brother when he’s sick , assist him when in need

without a thought of any gain for any act or deed

walk or act in such a way , that the world outside can see

that only the best can meet the test , laid down by masonry

Be always faithful to your trust and do the best you can

then you can tell the world you’re a mason and a man .
