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.

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.
