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, help cheer you on your way.
We acknowledge woman's worth, whether high or low of birth,
Whatsoever be her lot, rich or poor it matters not.
Chorus:
Warm Masonic hearts to meet you, hands of fellowship to greet you,
may our welcome here today, help cheer you on your way.
And
when we have said "Adieu",
may our love remain with you, And may we renew that love in
a Grander Lodge above.
Chorus: Warm Masonic hearts to meet you, hands of fellowship to
greet you, may our welcome here today, help cheer you on your way.

Here's
To Their Health
in a Song - Version 1
Tonight
we meet to do honour, to the Ladies all Masons adore,
We pledge them joy and contentment and freedom from cares
evermore.
To Mothers, Wives, Sisters and Sweethearts, the Masons will never
do
wrong.
We love all the Ladies, God bless them and here's to their health
in a song.
Chorus:
And here's to their health, here's to their health; And here's to
their health in a song. (repeat)
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 here's to their health, here's to their health; And here's to
their health in a song. (repeat)
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
throng. Long life to the President's Lady and here's to her health
in a song.
Chorus:
And here's to her health, here's to her health; And here's to her
health in a song. (sung three times)
