Come, O thou traveler unknown

Hymnal: Songs of Zion #14 (1821) 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. 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.3 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.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 then never hence shalt move,And tell me, if thy name be 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 bowels move,Thy nature, and thy name is love.
