Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 302 hymnals Topics: Pilgrimage 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; 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. But who, I ask thee, who art thou? Tell me thy name, and tell me now. 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. 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. Scripture: Genesis 32:24-32 Used With Tune: CANDLER

A race on earth, a race we run

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Pilgrimage of life Lyrics: A race on earth, a race we run, And bold a prize in view, More bright than if we chased the sun Through heaven's eternal blue. 151 Changes we prove, and vanish soon,-- Changes from youth to age,-- Transient as those that shape the moon On her brief pilgrimage. Like constellations on their way, That meet the morning light, We travel up to higher day, We pass through deeper night. Their tasks the heavenly hosts fulfil, Ere long to shine their last; We, if we do our Father's will, Shall shine when they are past.
