Author: Robert Robinson Hymnal: Mor1995 #782 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 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.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount - I'm fixed upon it -
mount of God's redeeming love.
2 Here I find my greatest treasure;
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,
bought me with 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 wand'ring 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. Topics: Reconciliation; Love for God; Reconciliation; Reconciliation; Redemption of humankind; Salvation Scripture: Psalm 36:5-10 Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON
