THE MASTER MASON'S CREED
BY BRO. AUGUSTINE W. ARMSTRONG, IOWA
The Builder - July 1921
 

I believe in right doing,
And steadfastly pursuing
The pathway of duty
In life's checkered career;
Asking light from above
That my actions may prove
By the test of the square
I am truly sincere,

I believe the protecting care
Each Mason should share
For the widow and orphan
In sorrow's dark days;
With charity for a cover
The frailties of a brother
Who may have wandered
Into forbidden ways.

And I firmly believe
That each day I receive
The proof that I have
An immortal soul;
And should walk in the light
Shunning error's dark night,
With my face toward heaven
Life's ultimate goal
