Come, O thou traveller unknown

Hymnal: A Pocket hymn-book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #CCLXXV (1790) Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou traveller unknown, Whom still I hold but cannot see, My company before is gone, And I am left alone with thee, With thee all night I mean to stay, And wrestle till the break of day. 2 In vain thou strugglest to get free; I never will unloose my hold: Art thou the man that died for me? The secret of thy love unfold; Wrestling I will not let the go, Till I thy name, thy nature know. 3 What tho' my shrinking flesh complain, And murmur to contend so long, I rise superior to my pain, When I am weak, then am I strong, And when my All of strength shall fail, I shall with thee God-man prevail. 4 Yield to me now, – for I am weak, But confident in self-despair; Speak to my heart, in blessings speak, Be conquer'd by my instant prayer; Speak, of thou never hence shalt move, And tell me, if thy name be love. 5 'Tis love, 'tis love! Thou dy'st for me, I hear the whisper in my heart, The morning breaks, the shadows flee, Pure, universal love thou art; To me, to all thy bowels move, Thy nature and thy name is love. 6 I know thee, Saviour, who thou art, Jesus the feeble sinner's friend; Nor wilt thou with the night depart, But stay, and love me to the end, Thy mercies never shall remove, Thy nature and thy name is love.
