Ye sprinkled Heathen hear

Verse 1
Ye sprinkled Heathen, hear,
Who urg’d 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.

Verse 2
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.
