Come, O Thou Traveler Unknown
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 289 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 32:24-32 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.

Come, O Thou Traveler Unknown
I will not let the go except tyou bless me
Appears in 168 hymnals 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.

"Weigh not thy life"
Author: Leonard Swain Appears in 63 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 32:26 First Line: My soul, weigh not thy life Lyrics: 1 My soul, weigh not thy life
Against thy heavenly crown;
Nor suffer Satan's deadliest strife
To beat thy courage down.
2 With prayer and crying strong,
Hold on the fearful fight,
And let the breaking day prolong
The wrestling of the night.

If thou thy part fulfill;
For strong as is the hostile shield,
Thy sword is stronger still.

Thy feet with victory shod;
And on thy head shall quickly shine
The diadem of God. Topics: Christians Encouragements; Comfort; Courage; Crown of glory Used With Tune: OLMUTZ
