Zum Schluß der Freimaurerloge
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Tenor:
 Ihr unsre neuen Leiter,
 Nun danken wir auch eurer Treue;
 Führt stets am Tugendpfad uns weiter,
 Daß Jeder sich der Kette freue,
 Die ihn an bess're Menschen schließt
 Und ihm des Lebens Kelch versüßt.

Chor:
 Beim heiligen Eide geloben auch wir,
 Am grossen Gebäude zu bauen wie ihr. 

Tenor:
 Hebt auf der Wahrheit Schwingen
 Uns höher zu der Weisheit Throne,
 Daß wir ihr Heiligthum erringen
 Und würdig werden ihrer Krone,
 Wenn ihr wohlthätig für den Neid
 Profaner selbst durch uns verscheut.

Chor:
 Beim heiligen Eide geloben auch wir,
 Am grossen Gebäude zu bauen wie ihr.

Pour la fermeture de la loge
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Ténor :
 Vous, nous nouveaux guides,
 maintenant nous vous remercions pour votre loyauté ;
 guidez-nous plus loin sur le chemin de la vertu,
 de sorte que chacun se réjouisse du groupe
 qui l'attache à des hommes meilleurs
 et lui adoucit la coupe de la vie.

Chœur :
 Près du chêne sacré nous prions
 pour construire de grands édifices comme vous.

Ténor :
 Élevons-nous sur les ailes de la vérité
 plus haut vers le trône de la sagesse,
 de sorte que nous conquérions son sanctuaire
 et que nous soyons dignes de votre couronne,
 quand charitablement la jalousie
 des profanes pour nous vous la chassez.

Chœur :
 Près du chêne sacré nous prions
 pour construire de grands édifices comme vous.
