Acts 17:23, 24: Whom...ye ignorantly worship, Him, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Ye sprinkled Heathen hear,
Who urged by fear alone
Your superstitious altars rear
Unto the God unknown:
Him I to you proclaim
The sovereign Lord Most-High,
Who built this universal frame,
And reigns above the sky.
One only Shrine He had
Where once on earth He dwelt,
When God was flesh for sinners made,
And seen, and heard, and felt:
Substantially reveal'd
In Christ the Father shone,
His fulness then the Temple fill'd,
The body of His Son.
