Come, O thou Traveller unknown

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: NEH1985 #350 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 32:24-30 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 misery and sin declare; Thyself hast called 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 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 God of love my Shepherd is

Author: George Herbert, 1593-1633 Hymnal: NEH1985 #77 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 23 Lyrics: 1 The God of love my shepherd is, And he that doth me feed; While he is mine and I am his, What can I want or need? 2 He leads me to the tender grass, Where I both feed and rest; Then to the streams that gently pass: In both I have the best. 3 Or if I stray, he doth convert, And bring my mind in frame, And all this not for my desert, But for his holy name. 4 Yea, in death's shady black abode Well may I walk, not fear; For thou art with me, and thy rod To guide, thy staff to bear. 5 Surely thy sweet and wondrous love Shall measure all my days; And as it never shall remove So neither shall my praise.

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: NEH1985 #458 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 23 Lyrics: 1 THE Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noonday walks he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads My weary wandering steps he leads, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 3 Though in a bare and rugged way Through devious lonely wilds I stray, Thy bounty shall my pains beguile; The barren wilderness shall smile With sudden greens and herbage crowned, And streams shall murmur all around. 4 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, 0 Lord, art with me still: Thy friendly staff shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade.
