Go, ask the Untaught Savage.

Go ask the untaught savage where
The God he 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.
