Bro. Toastmaster and brethren. What can I say about visiting that has not been so eloquently said by my predecessors in this pleasant duty? We are all visitors on this sublunary abode but this evening we have had the pleasure of welcoming you to our own small part of it. And I now have the humble distinction of calling my brethren to further extend that welcome. Brethren, please be upstanding for a toast.
To the visitors.

W. Bro. Toastmaster, R.W. District Deputy Grand Master, brethren; It is a pleasure to have this opportunity to propose, what I consider the most important toast of the evening, a toast to our visitors. A visit among freemasons is always a gratifying experience. Visiting is a form of communication. We impart and receive knowledge, ideas and, most important: expressions of friendship and brotherhood. But are we communicators? Do we pass on that which we have received from one to another? If that which is received from a brother ends with us it might as well not been said. The brethren of this lodge hope that their message of friendship and brotherhood is worthy of being passed on.
Brethren of .... Lodge, Please assist me in communicating our friendship and brotherhood and be upstanding for a toast.

W. Bro. Toastmaster, R.W. Bro. District Deputy Grand Master and brethren; It is a pleasure to have this opportunity to propose what I consider the most important toast of the evening—a toast to our visitors. On occasions like tonight, when we are honoured by having the DDGM with us, it is also gratifying to see that so many distinguished visitors have accompanied him. I use the term distinguished advisably, since it is my belief that a visitor is someone special and should be treated as such.
Each one of the visitors here tonight comes for a reason best known to himself; respect for Grand Lodge, admiration for our DDGM, perhaps an interest in the running of our lodge. All are good reasons but underlying all is a desire to join with fellow freemasons for an evening of friendship and brotherly love; something that can never be measured in terms of worldly values. I trust that we of .... Lodge have greeted you, and treated you each and all as someone special. May you continue to be a visitor as the hand of fellowship is always extended.
Brethren of .... Lodge, will you please be upstanding and drink with me a toast to our visiting brethren
To our visitors.

A Toast to all our differences
A Toast to common ground
A Toast to what we're seeking
A Toast to what we've found
To what brings us together
To what sets us apart
A Toast to many different souls
United with one heart.

To the visitors ...
