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 unchanging love.
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.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wand'ring 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 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, O take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above. Topics: Contentment; God Faithfulness of; God Goodness of; God Mercy of; God Praises of; Gratitude; Opening of Worship; Pilgrimage and Guidance; Preservation of Christians; Salvation by Grace Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON
