Come, O Thou Traveler Unknown

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
