Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,237 hymnals Topics: Music and Singing 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 to thee an altar; 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 thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, how 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.

John King, 1789-1858 Appears in 422 hymnals Topics: Singing First Line: When, His salvation bringing Lyrics: 1 When, His salvation bringing, To Zion Jesus came, The children all stood singing Hosanna to His Name; Nor did their zeal offend Him, But as He rode along, He let them still attend Him, And smiled to hear their song. Hosanna! Hosanna to Jesus they sing. 2 And since the Lord retaineth His love for children still, Though now as King He reigneth On Zion’s heavenly hill; We’ll flock around His banner Who sits upon His throne, And cry aloud, “Hosanna To David’s royal Son!” Hosanna! Hosanna to Jesus we’ll sing. 3 For should we fail proclaiming Our great Redeemer’s praise, The stones, our silence shaming, Would their hosannas raise. But shall we only render The tribute of our words? No! while our hearts are tender, They too shall be the Lord’s. Hosanna! Hosanna to Jesus our King. Used With Tune: MEHUL
