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. 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.
6. Lame as I am, I take the prey;
  Hell, earth and sin, with ease o'ercome.
  I leap for joy, pursue my way,
  And, as a bounding hart, I run,
  Through all eternity to prove
  Thy nature and Thy name is Love.
