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 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. 5 '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: To me, to all, thy mercies move; Thy nature and thy name is Love.

Come, O Thou Traveler Unknown

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #387 (1989) Scripture: Genesis 32:24-32 Lyrics: 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. I need not tell thee who I am, my misery and 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. In vain thou strugglest to get free, I never will unloose my hold; art yhou 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. 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. ’Tis all in vain to hold thy tongue or touch the hollow of my thigh; though every sinew be unstrung, out of my arms thou shalt not fly; wrestling I will not let thee go till I thy name, thy nature know. What though my shrinking flesh complain, and murmur to contend so long? I rise superior to my pain: when I am weak then I am strong, and when my all of strength shall fail I shall with the God-man prevail. 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. 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. ’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; to me, to all, thy mercies move -- thy nature, and thy name is Love. My prayer hath power with God; the grace unspeakable I now receive; through faith I see thee face to face, I see thee face to face, and live! In vain I have not wept and strove-- thy nature, and thy name is Love. I know thee, Savior, 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. The Sun of Righteousness on me hath rose with healing in his wings: withered my nature’s strength; from thee my soul its life and succor brings; my help is all laid up above; thy nature, and thy name is Love. Contented now upon my thigh I halt, till life’s short journey end; all helplessness, all weakness I on thee alone for strength depend; nor have I power from thee to move: thy nature, and thy name is Love. Lame as I am, I take the prey, hell, earth, and sin, with ease overcome; I leap for joy, pursue my way, and as a bounding hart fly home, through all eternity to prove thy nature, and thy name is Love.
