Breaking of the Day

Lyrics

Genesis thirty two,
twenty four through twenty eight

And Jacob
was left alone;
and there wrestled
a man
with him
until the breaking
of the day.

And when he saw
that he prevailed
not against him,
he touched
the hollow
of his thigh;
and the hollow
of Jacob's thigh
was out of joint,
as he wrestled
with him.

And he said,
Let me go,
for the day
breaketh.
And he said,
I will not
let thee go,
except thou bless me.

And he said
unto him,
What is thy name?
And he said,
Jacob.

And he said,
Thy name
shall be called
no more Jacob,
but Israel:
for as a prince
hast thou power
with God
and with men,
and hast prevailed.

Genesis chapter thirty two,
verses twenty four
through twenty eight

And Jacob
was left alone;
and there wrestled
a man
with him
until the breaking
of the day.

And when he saw
that he prevailed
not against him,
he touched
the hollow
of his thigh;
and the hollow
of Jacob's thigh
was out of joint,
as he wrestled
with him.

And he said,
Let me go,
for the day
breaketh.
And he said,
I will not
let thee go,
except thou bless me.

And he said
unto him,
What is thy name?
And he said,
Jacob.

And he said,
Thy name
shall be called
no more Jacob,
but Israel:
for as a prince
hast thou power
with God
and with men,
and hast prevailed.
