Tekst piosenki
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. 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. 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. 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. '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. 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.
