Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Author: Rev. Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,206 hymnals Topics: Heaven 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 sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above; Praise the mount — I'm fixed upon it– Mount of Thy redeeming 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 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. Used With Tune: NETTLETON

Christians, awake, salute the happy morn

Author: John Byrom, 1692-1763 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 186 hymnals Topics: Worship Earthly and Heavenly Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake, salute the happy morn, whereon the Saviour of the world was born; rise to adore the mystery of love, which hosts of angels chanted from above; with them the joyful tidings first begun of God incarnate and the Virgin's son. 2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, who heard the angelic herald's voice, 'Behold, I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth to you and all the nations on the earth; this day has God fulfilled his promised word, this day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord.' 3 He spoke; and straightway the celestial choir in hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire. The praises of redeeming love they sang, and heaven's whole orb with hallelujahs rang: God's highest glory was their anthem still, peace upon earth to people of good-will. 4 To Bethlehem straight the enlightened shepherds ran to see the wonder of our God made man, and found, with Joseph and the blessèd Maid, her son, the Saviour, in a manger laid; amazed, the wondrous story they proclaim, the first apostles of his infant fame. 5 Like Mary, let us ponder in our mind God's wondrous love in saving humankind; trace we the Babe, who has retrieved our loss, from the poor manger to the bitter cross; tread in his steps, assisted by his grace, until in heaven God's people take their place. 6 There may we hope, the angelic thrones among, to sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song: he that was born upon this joyful day around us all his glory shall display; saved by his love, unceasing we shall sing eternal praise to heaven's almighty King.

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,465 hymnals Topics: Heavenly-Mindedness Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, love, and power; He is able, He is able, He is willing: doubt no more. 2 Let not conscience make you linger, Nor of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness He requireth Is to feel your need of Him; This he gives you; This he gives you; 'Tis the Spirit's rising beam. 3 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden, Lost and ruined by the fall; If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all. Not the righteous, Not the righteous, Sinners, Jesus came to call. 4 View Him prostrate in the garden, Lo! your Maker prostrate lies; On the bloody tree behold Him; Hear Him cry before He dies: "It is finished!" "It is finished!" Sinner, will not this suffice? 5 Lo! th' incarnate God ascended Pleads the merit of His blood; Venture on Him, venture wholly, Let no other trust intrude: None but Jesus, None but Jesus, Can do helpless sinners good.

There he wins our full salvation, dies that we may die no more; then, arising, lives for ever, reigning where he was before. 4 High on yon celestial mountains stands his sapphire throne, all bright, midst unending alleluias bursting from the sons of light; Zion's people tell his praises, victor after hard-won fight. 5 Bring your harps, and bring your incense, sweep the string and pour the lay; let the earth proclaim his wonders, King of that celestial day; he the Lamb once slain is worthy, who was dead, and lives for ay. 6 Laud and honour to the Father, laud and honour to the Son, laud and honour to the Spirit, ever Three and ever One, consubstantial, co-eternal, while unending ages run.
