Come, Thou Fount of every blessing

Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7 Appears in 2,234 hymnals Topics: Advent, Third Sunday 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. 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. 3 Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious Blood. 4 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. 5 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 from Thy courts above.

Maker of earth, to Thee alone

Author: John Mason Neale Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Advent, Third Sunday Lyrics: 1 Maker of earth, to Thee alone Eternal rest belongs; And heavenly choirs around Thy throne Pour forth their endless songs. 2 But we--ah, holy now no more! Are doomed to toil and pain; Yet exiles on an alien shore May sing their country’s strain. 3 Father, whose promise binds Thee still To heal the suppliant throng, Grant us to mourn the deeds of ill That banish us so long! 4 And while we mourn, in faith to rest Upon Thy Love and care; Till Thou restore us, with the blest, The song of heaven to share!

Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart! 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving spirit Into every troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find Thy promised rest. Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty, to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Graciously return, and never, Never more Thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy precious love. 4 Finish then Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee! Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Used With Tune: RIPLEY

Ye sinners lost through Adam’s fall, Will ye not hearken to the call? 2 Repent! The gracious call believe, Haste His forgiveness to receive. The Prince of Life, incarnate Word, Life and salvation can afford. 3 Divine Redeemer, glorious King! Repentant hearts to Thee we bring. Thy holy blood for us was spilt, Cleanse us from all the stains of guilt. 4 Drawn by Thy Spirit, through Thy Word, Thine invitation have we heard. In answer to Thy sweet request, We come to Thee, O Christ, for rest. 5 Thy pardon, full, complete, and free, Removes sin’s awful penalty. Our Father’s love is now restored; Thou hast redeemed us, dearest Lord. 6 Let us Thy Name forever bless, On earth Thy gospel truth confess, Till saved by grace, through faith in Thee, The gates of paradise we see. Amen. Used With Tune: BRESLAU

Is this Jesus, then, the Lord

Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday of Advent Lyrics: 1 Is this Jesus, then, the Lord, Promised since the world began? Ask the blind to sight restored, Ask the lame who leaped and ran; 2 Ask the once loathed leper clean, Ask the dead to life restored: They will tell thee Christ hath been,-- Christ will ever be--the Lord. 3 Say thou, poor man, hath not He, As the prophet spake of old, Preached His Gospel unto thee? Is not this the Christ foretold? 4 Come unto Him, all ye meek, Shun not of His cross the shame: Blest all they His love who seek, Bearing witness to His Name.
