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. 2 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. 3 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. Used With Tune: NETTLETON
