Come, O thou Traveler unknown
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #471 (1958) Topics: The Life in Christ Aspiration; The Life in Christ Petition and Intercession; The Life In Christ The Inner Life Lyrics: 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 or 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 I know thee, Saviour, 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. A-men.
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 is Love.
5 ’Tis Love, ’tis Love, thou died'st 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.
Amen.

Come, O thou Traveler unknown
I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew

He moved my soul to seek him, seeking me;
It was not I that found, O Saviour true;
No, I was found of thee.
2 Thou didst reach forth thy hand and mine enfold;
I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea;
'Twas not so much that I on thee took hold
As thou, dear Lord, on me.
3 I find, I walk, I love, but O the whole
Of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee;
For thou wert long beforehand with my soul,
Always thou lovèdst me. Languages: English Tune Title: PEACE

He leadeth me, he leadeth me;
By his own hand he leadeth me:
His faithful follower I would be,
For by his hand he leadeth me.

Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters calm, o’er troubled sea,
Still ’tis his hand that leadeth me. [Refrain]
3 Lord, I would clasp thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since ’tis my God that leadeth me. [Refrain]
4 And when my task on earth is done,
When by thy grace the victory’s won,
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: AUGHTON (HE LEADETH ME)

And preach thee, too, as love knows how,
By kindly words and virtuous life: [Refrain]

Still support, console, protect us,

By some clear, winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way. A-men.

In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong;

Far down the future's broadening way,
In peace that only thou canst give;
With thee, O Master, let me live.

Nor roll of stirring drums,
But deeds of love and mercy,
The heavenly kingdom comes. A-men.

For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er thy face appears:

'Gainst all disaster,
Let him in constancy
Follow the Master.

Shall make him once relent
His first avowed intent
To be a pilgrim.
2 Who so beset him round
With dismal stories,
Do but themselves confound,
His strength the more is.
No foes shall stay his might,
Though he with giants fight;
He will make good his right
To be a pilgrim.
3 Since, Lord, thou dost defend
Us with thy Spirit,
We know we at the end
Shall life inherit.
Then fancies flee away!
I'll fear not what men say,
I'll labor night and day
To be a pilgrim.

Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee.
2 Though like a wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone,
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee.
3 Then let the way appear
Steps unto heaven;
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee.
4 Then with my waking thoughts,
Bright with thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee.
5 Or, if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee. Languages: English Tune Title: BETHANY
Nearer, my God, to thee
