The Library and Museum of Freemasonry

This song about the Masonic and Military Order of the Red Cross of Constantine was composed by Robert Wentworth Little (1840-1879), who revived the Order in 1865 (with the assistance of W H White, formerly Grand Secretary of the United Grand Lodge of England and W J Hughan, the Masonic historian) and was its Grand Recorder until 1872. Wentworth Little worked as a clerk at Freemasons’ Hall. He was also a founder of the Masonic Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA) and editor of The Freemason from 1869 to 1873.
