Come, O thou traveler unknown
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 289 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 3:8 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 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.
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. Topics: God Mercy of; God Love and Grace of; One Life in Christ Love; Prayer / Prayers / Poems; Salvation; Sin / Sinner; Struggle Used With Tune: CANDLER

How helpless fallen nature lies
Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 231 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 3:13 Lyrics: 1 How helpless fallen nature lies,
Unconscious of her load!
The heart unchanged can never rise
To happiness and God.
2 Can aught beneath a power divine
A stubborn will subdue?
'Tis thine, eternal Spirit, thine
To form the heart anew.
3 'Tis thine the passions to recall,
And bid them upward rise;
To make the scales of error fall
From reason's darkened eyes;--
4 To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live:
A beam of heaven, a vital ray,
'Tis thine alone to give.
5 Renew these wretched hearts of ours;
Oh, give us life divine!
Then shall our passions and our powers,
Almighty Lord, be thine.

abide in this your house of prayer,
Where we your parting promise claim,
assembled in your sacred name.

and come within our hearts to live.

and you will make our faith endure.

when earth and heav'n shall melt away,
your flock, redeemed from sinful stain,
shall swell the sound of praise again. Topics: Opening of Service Used With Tune: ST. CHAD

Dost Thou not hear the cry?

Impatient of Thy stay,
Worn out with these long years of ill,
These ages of delay.

Build up this ruined earth;
Restore our faded Paradise,
Creation's second birth.

Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the Kingdom to Thyself,
Great King of Righteousness.
