Regular Freemasonry is inclusive and tolerant of all major religions (Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism), hence we embrace the Supreme Beings of these religions (Jesus Christ, Allah, Yahweh, Brahman, Brahma, Vishnu, God) and this Ode is dedicated to all these.
1. Freemasonry is not a religion. 2. Prayer is not limited to Christianity. 3. Prayer is found in all religions and faith paths. 4. It is not necessary for a prayer to be made in Jesus' name in order for it to be valid. 5. Many Christian prayers make no mention of Jesus, such as graces before and after meals (such as "For what we are about to receive, may the Lord make us truly thankful/grateful. Amen."), and perhaps most notably the prayer Jesus himself gave us.
Haven't you all realized that early Christianity is in essence a Sincretic religion that took from previous believes systems and dogmas, and put them together to make one. Isn't that Heretical also?

Freemasonry is tolerant of all major religions and their Supreme Beings. This Ode is dedicated to all these.
Hence it is Syncretism and this heretical. Thank your for at least being honest
Note the absence of Jesus Christ
It’s based upon the the Old Testament.
