O Father, Where Have You Gone

O Father, where have you gone
'I took hold of eternity's hand'
I implore, tell me, where have you gone
If you tell me, I will surely come
My efforts to commune lead only to wonder
O Father, where have you gone

'I have gone where the spirit goes'
Can I go with you?
'Not in this life, my son'
I'm left forlorn, my spirit cries
to follow the path of yours
From each day since and forever more
I ask:

O Father, where have you gone
