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.
Text: Charles Wesley, 1742 (Gen. 32:24-32)

Thanks, Bill. I appreciate the communication. I'll try to update a little more often for you (and other readers)!
Thanks.
Awesome! I didn't know Wesley addressed the wrestling passage at such length. From which hymn is this? Neat find!
