  1. Christ in the Tabernacle

    I have not seen your face to-day
    Where were you
    A hundred others came to pray
    Where were you
    From out my prison I have gazed
    At thousands who have, kneeling praised
    I wanted you
    II
    I wanted you - you did not come
    Where were you
    I waited there - in silence - dumb
    Where were you
    Oh! could you not one moment spare
    Oh! Surely you a little care
    I wanted you
    III
    You had not time - Oh! So you said
    Where were you
    While my sad Heart in silence bled
    Where were you
    Among your friends long hours you spent
    While I - My Loving Heart was rent
    In solitude
    IV
    I do not like to be alone
    I want you
