"Wrestling Jacob", also known by its incipit, "Come, O thou traveller unknown", is a poem and hymn on the nature of God which appears in some Protestant hymnals. The text is attributed to Methodist minister Charles Wesley. It focuses on the change that can occur in one's own heart and is based on Genesis 32:24-32, which is the story of Jacob wrestling with an angel sent by God at Peniel. Isaac Watts, the "Father of English Hymnody", remarked that Wesley's poem was "worth all the verses that he himself had written."
