Come, O Thou Traveler Unknown: SATB

Lyrics: Charles Wesley

Music: Carrie Wickens

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

I need not tell Thee who I am,

My sin and misery 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.

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 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 mercies move;

Thy nature and Thy name is Love.
