I my Master have denied, I afresh have crucified, oft profaned his hallowed name, put him to an open shame. 4. There for me the Savior stands, shows his wounds and spreads his hands. God is love! I know, I feel; Jesus weeps and loves me still. 5. Now incline me to repent, let me now my sins lament, now my foul revolt deplore, weep, believe, and sin no more. Used With Tune: CANTERBURY

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing

Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 2,245 hymnals Topics: God Mercies of Lyrics: 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 measure, Sung by flaming tongues above; Fill my soul with sacred pleasure, While I sing redeeming love. 2 Here I raise mine 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, 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, Lord, 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. Amen. Used With Tune: NETTLETON
