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.

    Awesome! I didn't know Wesley addressed the wrestling passage at such length. From which hymn is this? Neat find!
