Come, O Thou Traveler Unknown (Oh tú, viajero extraño)

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788; Federico J. Pagura, 1923-2016 Hymnal: Santo, Santo, Santo #24 (2019) Meter: 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; 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 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. 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 blessing speak, Be conquered by my instant prayer. Speak, or thou never hence shalt move, And tell me if thy name is Love. 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. To me, to all, thy mercies move; Thy nature and thy name is Love. To me, to all, thy mercies move; Thy nature and thy name is Love. --- 1 Oh tú, viajero extraño, ven, sin verte, asido a ti yo estoy; se han ido todos, tarde es ya, y yo contigo solo voy; contigo en sombras lucharé, y así la aurora esperaré; contigo en sombras lucharé y así la aurora esperaré. 2 En vano quieres libertad, no he de dejarte nunca, no; mi nombre sabes, pero tú, ¿qué nombre tienes, oh Señor? ¿Acaso fuiste el que ofreció por mí su vida en amor? ¿Acaso fuiste el que ofreció; por mí su vida en amor? 3 Respóndeme, pues débil soy, y en mis angustias clamo a ti; que te conquiste mi oración, y me bendigas al partir; no he de dejarte, hombre o Dios, ansioso espero oír tu voz; no he de dejarte, hombre o Dios, ansioso espero oír tu voz. 4 Amor, tu nombre es solo amor; calladamente percibí tu voz diciendo al corazón, "mi vida entera di por ti"; las sombras huyen, brilla el sol, tu nombre, oh Dios, es santo amor; las sombras huyen, brilla el sol, tu nombre, oh Dios, es santo amor.

Come, O Thou Traveler Unknown

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #387 (1989) 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.

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 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?

In vain I have not wept and strove; Thy nature and Thy name is Love. 11. 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. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. Lame as I am, I take the prey, Hell, earth, and sin, with ease o’ercome; 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.
