Depart from me. I know Thee not

Depart from me. I know Thee not!
Within the Temple have I sought Thee,
And many a time have sold and bought Thee
In that unhallowed, holy spot.
Depart from me. I know Thee not!

Depart from me. I know Thee not!
Full oft among the poor I found Thee.
There did I grieve, neglect, and wound Thee.
I never strove to share Thy lot.
Depart from me. I know Thee not!

I know Thee not. Abide with me!
More than aught else do I admire Thee,
Above all earthly things desire Thee.
I am Thy prisoner. Make me free!
I know Thee not. Abide with me!
