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 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.

The Spirit breathes upon the word

Author: Cowper Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #1 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 32:26 Lyrics: 1 The Spirit breathes upon the word, And brings the truth to sight; Precepts and promises afford A sanctifying light. 2 A glory gilds the sacred page, Majestic, like the sun; It gives a light to every age;-- It gives, but borrows none. 3 The hand that gave it still supplies The gracious light and heat; Its truths upon the nations rise;-- They rise, but never set. 4 Let everlasting thanks be thine, For such a bright display As makes a world of darkness shine With beams of heavenly day. 5 My soul rejoices to pursue The steps of him I love, Till glory breaks upon my view, In bright worlds above.

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCLIV (1792) Scripture: Genesis 32:26 First Line: Lord, I cannot let thee go Lyrics: 1 Lord, I cannot let thee go, 'Till a blessing thou bestow; Do not turn away thy face, Mine's an urgent, pressing case. 2 Dost thou ask me who I am? Ah, my Lord, thou know'st my name! Yet a question gives a plea, To support my suit with thee. 3 Thou did'st once a wretch behold, In rebellion blindly bold, Scorn thy grace thy power defy, That poor rebel, Lord, was I. 4 Once a sinner near despair Sought thy mercy-seat by prayer; Mercy heard and set him free, Lord, that mercy came to me. 5 Many days have pass'd since then, Many changes I have seen; Yet have been upheld 'till now, Who could hold me up but thou. 6 Thou hast help'd in every need, This emboldens me to plead: After so much mercy past, Can'st thou let me sink at last? 7 No – I must maintain my hold, 'Tis thy goodness makes me bold; I can no denial take When I plead for Jesus' sake.
