The Grand Master then, striking thrice with his mallet pours the corn upon the Lodge, saying: In the name of the great Jehovah, to whom be all honor and glory, I do solemnly dedicate this hall to Freemasonry. The grand honors are given. Bring with thee Virtue, brightest maid! Bring Love, bring Truth, bring Friendship here; While social Mirth shall lend her aid To soothe the wrinkled brow of Care. The second procession is then made around the Lodge, and the Grand Senior Warden presents the vessel of wine to the Grand Master, saying: Most Worshipful: Wine, the emblem of refreshment, having been used by our ancient brethren in the dedication and consecration of their Lodges, I present you this vessel of wine, to be used on the present occasion according to ancient Masonic form. The Grand Master then sprinkles the wine upon the Lodge, saying: In the name of the holy Saints John, I do solemnly dedicate this hall to Virtue. The grand honors are twice repeated. Bring Charity! with goodness crowned, Encircled in thy heavenly robe! Diffuse thy blessings all around, To every corner of the Globe! The third procession is then made round the Lodge, and the Deputy Grand Master presents the vessel of oil to the Grand Master, saying: Most Worshipful: I present you, to be used according to ancient custom, this vessel of oil, an emblem of that joy which should animate every bosom on the completion of every important undertaking. The Grand Master then sprinkles the oil upon the Lodge, saying: In the name of the whole Fraternity, I do solemnly dedicate this hall to Universal Benevolence. The grand honors are thrice repeated. To Heaven's high Architect all praise, All praise, all gratitude be given, Who deigned the human soul to raise, By mystic secrets, sprung from Heaven. The Grand Chaplain, standing before the Lodge, then makes the following Invocation. And may the Lord, the giver of every good and perfect gift, bless the brethren here assembled, in all their lawful undertakings, and grant to each one of them, in needful supply, the corn of nourishment, the wine of refreshment, and the oil of joy. Amen. Response: So mote it be. The Lodge is then covered, and the Grand Master retires to his chair. The following or an appropriate original oration may then be delivered, and the ceremonies conclude with music: Brethren: The ceremonies we have performed are not unmeaning rites, nor the amusing pageants of an idle hour, but have a solemn and instructive import. Suffer me to point it out to you, and to impress upon your minds the ennobling sentiments they are so well adapted to convey.
