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 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. 

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.	Wilt thou not yet to me reveal 
	thy new, unutterable name? 
	Tell me, I still beseech thee, tell, 
	to know it now resolved I am; 
	wrestling, I will not let thee go, 
	till I thy name, thy nature know. 

5.	'Tis all in vain to hold thy tongue 
	or touch the hollow of my thigh; 
	though every sinew be unstrung, 
	out of my arms thou shalt not fly; 
	wrestling I will not let thee go 
	till I thy name, thy nature know. 

6.	What though my shrinking flesh complain 
	and murmur to contend so long? 
	I rise superior to my pain: 
	when I am weak then I am strong, 
	and when my all of strength shall fail 
	I shall with the God-man prevail. 

7.	Contented now upon my thigh 
	I halt, till life's short journey end; 
	all helplessness, all weakness I 
	on thee alone for strength depend; 
	nor have I power from thee to move: 
	thy nature, and thy name is Love. 

8.	My strength is gone, my nature dies, 
	I sink beneath thy weighty hand, 
	faint to revive, and fall to rise; 
	I fall, and yet by faith I stand; 
	I stand and will not let thee go 
	till I thy name, thy nature know. 

9.	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. 

10.	'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. 

11.	My prayer hath power with God; 
	the grace unspeakable I now receive; 
	through faith I see thee face to face, 
	I see thee face to face, and live! 
	In vain I have not wept and strove- 
	thy nature, and thy name is Love. 

12.	I know thee, Savior, who thou art, 
	Jesus, the feeble sinner's friend; 
	nor wilt thou with the night depart, 
	but stay and love me to the end: 
	thy mercies never shall remove, 
	thy nature, and thy name is Love. 

13.	The Sun of Righteousness on me 
	hath risen with healing in his wings: 
	withered my nature's strength; from thee 
	my soul its life and succor brings; 
	my help is all laid up above; 
	thy nature, and thy name is Love. 

14.	Lame as I am, I take the prey, 
	hell, earth, and sin with ease overcome; 
	I leap for joy, pursue my way, 
	and as a bounding hart fly home, 
	through all eternity to prove 
	thy nature, and thy name is Love.
