Come, O thou traveller unknown
Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #34 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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.
I need not tell thee who I am,
My sin and misery declare;
Thyself hast called my by my name,
Look on thy hands, and read it there:
But who, I ask thee, who art thou?
Tell me thy name, and tell me now.
3.
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 thee go,
Till I thy name, thy nature know.
4.
Wilt thou not yet to me reveal
Thy new, unutterable name?
Tell me, I still beseech thee, tell;
To know it now resolved I am:
Wrestling, I will not let thee go,
Till I thy name, thy nature know.
5.
What though my shrinking flesh complain,
And murmur to contend so long?
I rise superior to my pain:
When I am weak, than am I strong,
And when my all of strength shall fail,
I shall with the God-man prevail.

Leaving Her Water Jar Behind
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #626 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Leaving her water jar behind,
the woman ran from Jacob's well;
her daily chores had fled her mind,
for she had wondrous news to tell:
forsaking what had drawn her first,
she quenched instead a deeper thirst.
2 "Come, see a man who told me all
that I have ever claimed or done!
Such wisdom from his lips did fall!
Could this be God's Anointed One?"
Her neighbors heard, then with her ran
to meet this wise and holy man.
3 When Jesus spoke, his words brought life,
like water poured on shriveled seed:
his truth as piercing as a knife,
his grace yet greater than their need.
So they prevailed on him to stay
and teach them more another day.
4 By all the wells of our own day,
this Jesus waits to meet us still,
where our pretenses fall away
when we ask him our lives to fill.
Come with your thirsty heart and mind:
you too may leave your jar behind. Topics: Feminine Images; Grace; Jesus Christ's Ministry; Living Water; Mission; New Life in Christ; Seeking; Teaching; Truth; Witness Scripture: John 4:7-42 Languages: English Tune Title: VERNON

Come, O thou Traveler unknown
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #638 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou Traveler 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 I need not tell thee who I am,
my misery or sin declare;
thyself hast called me by my name,
look on thy hands, and read it there.
But who, I ask thee, who art thou?
Tell me thy name, and tell me now.
3 Yield to me now, for I am weak
but confident in self-despair;
speak to my heart, in blessings speak,
be conquered by my instant prayer.
Speak, or thou never hence shalt move,
and tell me, if thy name is Love.
4 'Tis Love, 'tis Love! Thou diedst for me!
I hear thy whisper in my heart:
the morning breaks, the shadows flee.
Pure Universal Love thou art;
thy mercies never shall remove,
thy nature and thy name is Love. Topics: The Christian Life Languages: English Tune Title: VERNON

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 Wilt thou not yet to me reveal
thy new, unutterable name?
Tell me, I still beseech thee, tell,
to know it now resolved I am.
Wrestling, I will not let thee go
till I thy name, thy nature know.
3 My strength is gone, my nature dies,
I sink beneath thy weighty hand,
faint to revive, and fall to rise.
I fall, and yet by faith I stand;
I stand and will not let thee go
till I thy name, thy nature know.
4 Yield to me now—for I am weak,
but confident in self-despair!
Speak to my heart, in blessing speak,
be conquered by my instant prayer.
Speak, or thou never hence shalt move,
and tell me if thy name is Love.
5 ‘Tis Love! ‘tis Love that wrestled me!
I hear thy whisper in my heart.
The morning breaks, the shadows flee,
pure, universal Love thou art.
To me, to all, thy mercies move—
thy nature and thy name is Love. Topics: Jesus Christ Love of; Conversion and New Life; Doubt; God Love of; God Mystery and Holiness of; Jesus Christ Images and Names of; Jesus Christ Love of; Trials Scripture: Genesis 32:24-30 Tune Title: VERNON
