God, that madest earth and heaven

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing

Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 2,205 hymnals 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 measure, Sung by flaming tongues above; Fill my soul with sacred pleasure, While I sing redeeming love. 2 Here I raise mine 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, 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 that grace, Lord, 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, Lord, take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above. Amen.

Holy Father, Thou hast taught me

Therefore, Lord, I come, believing Thou canst give the power I need; Through the prayer of faith receiving Strength--the Spirit’s strength, indeed. 3 I would trust in Thy protecting, Wholly rest upon Thine arm; Follow wholly Thy directing, Thou, mine only guard from harm. Keep me from mine own undoing, Help me turn to Thee when tried; Still my footsteps, Father, viewing, Keep me ever at Thy side. Amen.
