Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Come

Thou Fount of every 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.

Sorrowing I shall be in spirit

Till released from flesh and sin

Yet from what I do inherit

Here Thy praises I’ll begin;

Here I raise my Ebenezer;

Here by Thy great help I’ve come;

And I hope

by Thy good pleasure

Safely to arrive at home.

Jesus sought me when a stranger

Wandering from the fold of God;

He

to rescue me from danger

Interposed His precious blood;

How His kindness yet pursues me

Mortal tongue can never tell

Clothed in flesh

till death shall loose me

I cannot proclaim it well.

O to grace how great a debtor

Daily I’m constrained to be!

Let Thy goodness

like a fetter

Bind my wandering 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.

O that day when freed from sinning

I shall see Thy lovely face;

Clothed then in blood washed linen

How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace;

Come

my Lord

no longer tarry

Take my ransomed soul away;

Send thine angels now to carry

Me to realms of endless day.
