Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, Hold each of us, in the hollow of Thy hand, Give unto us that discernment and that serenity of mind which will enable us to see Thy perfect will in all things, and lead us from this moment henceforth in paths of faith and practice becoming our vows as Masons. We thank Thee for these who have stood strong and tall in our midst. We are grateful for the influences they have exerted, I pray that their influences will survive in us and that all we do in the upcoming year will benefit the Masonic order and the members of this lodge. I pray that you will grant wisdom to the newly installed officers, that they will serve this lodge in honesty and brotherly love. As we now close this installation go with each one gathered here today guide and protect us, in they name I pray. Amen*
