To an Unknown God, the altar read,
Weak evidence that sheep had bled
And Epimenides had come to pray--
A graven reference all that remained.

Daily quests for something new and bright
Had left old Athens short of truth and light
Because the thoughts of men remained their cave
And home from birth unto their final grave.

Paul's direct appeal to think on Christ
Remained beyond the gaze of earthen eyes
The idol-hardened hearts would mock the grace
Of God because their context hid His face.

The temple of our Lord preserves His name
So always stand prepared to spread Christ's fame.
