Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

 

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.

While the hope of endless glory

fills my heart with joy and love,

teach me ever to adore thee;

may I still thy goodness prove.

 

Here I raise my Ebenezer:

“Hither by thy help I’ve 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.

 

Oh, to grace how great a debtor

daily I’m constrained 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 the God I love.

Here’s my heart, oh, take and seal it;

seal it for thy courts above.
