| Build a fire and fan the flame | |
| Sacrifice without a name | |
| Offerings on the altar to the unknown god | |
| Multitudes of gods cover our landscapes and our lives | |
| Images of deities and halls of sacrifice | |
| Philosophers and scholars and sophisticates we are | |
| Our gods are our religion and religion is our god | |
| A stranger came to town one day | |
| And fearlessly proclaimed | |
| “The unknown god you worship | |
| On this altar has a name” | |
| He said, “This god is not an image | |
| Or a statue of the dead | |
| In Him we live and have our being | |
| As your own poets have said” | |
| Build a fire and fan the flame | |
| Sacrifice without a name | |
| Offerings on the altar to the unknown god | |
| Dance around the altar blaze | |
| Brings the works your hands have made | |
| Place them on the altar to the unknown god | |
| He dwells not in temples | |
| Built by human hands | |
| He needs no assistance | |
| Or service of man | |
| The nameless you worship | |
| Is greater than all | |
| Your idols of death | |
| Never answer your call | |
| All nations He formed | |
| From the flesh of one man | |
| He marked out their times | |
| And the boundaries of lands | |
| Your life and your breath | |
| He bestows with the day | |
| So seek Him and find Him | |
| For He is not far away | |
| Fire upon the altar | |
| Burns the sacrifice | |
| Sacrificial lamb was slain to pay the final price | |
| Come, ye heavy laden | |
| Sinner’s mercy cry | |
| The unknown God your call upon is nigh | |
| Gather ‘round the altar | |
| Stoke the holy fire | |
| Purifying flames of righteousness | |
| Are rising higher | |
| Come ye hungry, eat the bread of life | |
| And drink the wine | |
| Altar to the living God divine | |
| No image of stone or of silver and gold | |
| No effigy mankind has raised to behold | |
| The day and the hour of judgment is set | |
| He’s proven Him by the resurrection of the dead | |
| Build a fire and fan the flame | |
| Sacrifice without a name | |
| Offerings on the altar to the unknown god | |
| Stand before the altar blaze | |
| Bring the lives His hands have made | |
| Place them on the altar to the one true god | |
| Your unknown god | |
| Is the one living God |
| Build a fire and fan the flame | |
| Sacrifice without a name | |
| Offerings on the altar to the unknown god | |
| Multitudes of gods cover our landscapes and our lives | |
| Images of deities and halls of sacrifice | |
