Words for Masonic Grace and Ladies Song

For these and all Thy mercies given
We bless and praise Thy name O Lord

May we receive them with thanks-giving
Ever trusting in Thy Word

To Thee alone be honour, glory
Now and henceforth for evermore

 

Ladies from the East and West, We have done our very best
To ensure your welcome here, Bright, Fraternal, and Sincere

Chorus
Warm Masonic hearts to meet you, Hands of Fellowship to greet you
May our welcome here today, Cheer each Lady on her way
Repeat Chorus (All Gentlemen)

We all recognise your worth, Our best friends upon this earth
May we always be inclined, To be loving, true and kind

 Chorus (Solo)
 Repeat Chorus (All Gentlemen)

When on earth we say “Adieu”,  May our love remain with you
And may we renew that love,   In a Grander Lodge above

Chorus (Solo)
Repeat Chorus (All Gentlemen)

 

Here's To Their Health in a Song

This is the "usual" Ladies Song but there seems to be several slightly different versions.
These appear to be the main variations:

Variation 1

Tonight we are met to do Honour, To those who in sickness and health
Are Angels who minister to us,  The Ladies our Empires wealth
To Mothers, Wives, Sisters and Sweethearts, True Masons can never do wrong
We all love the Ladies, God bless them,  And here’s to their health in a song

Chorus
Here’s to their health,
Here’s to their health,
And here’s to their health in a song.
(repeat - all gentlemen )

The Brethren all bid you a welcome, The night is only for you
We thank you for all you do for us, May we always be faithful and true
The Brethren a Toast to our Ladies, For our joy in having you here
We wish you good health and much pleasure, And happiness all through the year

Chorus

To the wife of our Worshipful Master, Our dutiful homage we pay
May her joys be as wide as the ocean, Her sorrows as light as its spray
The ground that she treads on shall blossom, Till blessings around her shall throng
Long life to the Lady we honour, And here’s to her health in a song

Chorus

 

Variation 2

Tonight we meet to do honour, to the Ladies all Masons adore
We pledge them joy and contentment and freedom from cares evermore

Chorus
Here’s to their health,
Here’s to their health,
And here’s to their health in a song.
(repeat - all gentlemen)

So Brethren guard them dearly, let nothing come amiss
Protect them in their sorrow and join them in their bliss
Let happiness be their portion, to drive at all their grief and fears
And kind loving hands to support them,  As they have done throughout all the years

Chorus

And so to the President's Lady, a dutiful homage we pay
May her joys be as wide as the ocean, her tears as light as the spray
The ground that she walks on will blossom, the beauties around her shall
