lyrics
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
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
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, Lord; 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
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
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
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, Lord; 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
