prayer for open installation of officers

The supplied sources do not record a specific prayer text designated for an open installation of officers.

The historical accounts of lodge constitution and installation do, however, set out the invocations used during related ceremonial proceedings. In the constitution of a new lodge immediately preceding the installation of its Master, the Grand Master invokes the name of the Most High, praying that Deity may be with the brethren at their beginning, strengthen them in the principles of the royal art, prosper them with success, and extend divine aid to the lodge 1. More generally, Craft opening ceremonies require addressing a prayer to the Supreme Architect of the Universe to supplicate divine protection and invoke a blessing upon all important undertakings before lodge business or ceremonial work begins 21.
