The Presbyterian Hymnal: Hymns, Psalms, and Spiritual Songs

356

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

1.  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 God's unchanging 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,
    Wandering from the fold of God;
    He, to rescue me from danger,
    Interposed His precious blood.

3.  O to grace how great a debtor
    Daily I'm constrained to be!
    Let that grace now, 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.
