ask the untaught savage where
 * The God worships deigns to live?

Go ask the untutor'd savage where?
 * And mark the answer he shall give!

He'll tell you that there's not a place,
 * Above, below, or all around,

But if ye, sorrowing, seek his face
 * The God of mercy may be found!

There's not a planet in the sky,
 * But lighteth where the Spirit lives;

There's not a zephyr murmurs by
 * But whispers of the peace He gives;

There's nothing in the heavens or earth,
 * The mighty ocean or the air,

Or aught from either has its birth,
 * But His omnipotence declare.

Kneel, Christian kneel, bow, bow thine head, And think on what the savage said.
