“All is good and well and right; and shall be so forever.
Morals and Dogma
Through the eternal ages the light of God’s beneficence shall shine hereafter,
disclosing all,
consummating all,
rewarding all that deserve reward.
Then we shall see, what now we can only believe.
The cloud will be lifted up,
the gate of mystery be passed,
and the full light shine forever;
the light of which that of the Lodge is a symbol.
Then that which caused us trial shall yield us triumph;
and that which made our heart ache
shall fill us with gladness;
and we shall then feel that there,
as here,
the only true happiness is to learn,
to advance,
and to improve;
which could not happen unless we had commenced with error, ignorance, and imperfection.
We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.”
Pass Through Darkness
