Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs for the use of Christians #232 (1803) First Line: Come, O thou Traveller unknown 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; Thy self hast call'd 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 dy'd for me The secret of thy love unfold: Wrestling, I will not let the go, Till I thy name thy nature know. 4 Wilt thou not yet to me reveal Thy new unutterable name? I tell me, I beseech thee, tell: To know it now resolv'd I am: Wrestling I will not let thee go, 'Till I thy name thy nature know. 5 'Tis all in vain to hold thy tongue, Or touch the hollow of my thigh; Tho' every sinnew were unstrung, Out of my arms thou shalt not fly; Wrestling, I will not let thee go, 'Till I thy name, thy nature know. 6 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 doth fail, I shall with thee God-man prevail. 7 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.
