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 fixt upon it,Mount of God’s unchanging Love.
2. Here I raise my Eben-ezer,Hither by thy Grace I’m come;So I hope by thy good Pleasure,Shortly to arrive at Home:Jesus sought me, when a Stranger,Wand’ring from the Fold of God;He to rescue me from Danger,Interpos’d with precious Blood.
3. O! to Grace how great a Debtor,Daily I’m constrain’d to be;Let that Grace now like a Fetter,Bind my wand’ring Heart to Thee:Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,Prone to leave that God I love;Take my Heart, O take and seal it,Seal it from thy Courts above.
4. O that Day when freed from Sinning,I shall see thy lovely Face;Cloathed then in blood-wash’d Linnen,How I’ll sing thy sov’reign Grace:Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,Take my ransom’d Soul away;Send thine Angels now to carryMe to Realms of endless Day.
