Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
1. Come, Thou Fount of ev’ry blessing;Tune my heart to sing Thy grace.Streams of mercy, never ceasing,Call for songs of loudest praise.Teach me some melodious sonnet,Sung by flaming tongues above.Praise the mount; I’m fixed upon it:Mount of Thy redeeming love.
2. Here I raise my Ebenezer;Hither by Thy help I’m come.And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,Safely to arrive at home.Jesus sought me when a stranger,Wand’ring from the fold of God;He, to rescue me from danger,Interposed His precious blood.
3. Oh, to grace how great a debtorDaily I’m constrained to be!Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee.Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,Prone to leave the God I love.Here’s my heart, O take and seal it;Seal it for Thy courts above.
