Hymn: Wrestling stranger met with Jacob
Proper 13 year A
Genesis 32: 22 – 31
Wrestling stranger met with Jacob,
struggled onward till the morn,
struggled by the brook of Jabbok,
heralding a different dawn.
Jacob met the task with courage,
and it seemed he would prevail,
but the stronger, wrestling stranger,
made him limp, God could not fail...
Tune: ALL FOR JESUS
Seventh Sunday after Pentecost, Genesis, 32: 22 – 31, hymn, Jacob,
wrestling, Jabbok, Israel, Holy, struggle, doubt, purpose
