Author: Robert Robinson, 1735-1790 Hymnal: Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) #433 (2012) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Luke 19:10 First Line: Come, thou Fount of ev'ry blessing 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 thy redeeming love.
2 Here I raise mine 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 thy 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, Lord, take and seal it,
Seal it for thy courts above. Topics: Blessing; Commitment; Grâce; Homecoming; Journey, Pilgrimage; Mercy, Forgiveness; Music; Praise; Rédemption; Saving Blood of Christ; Song; Worship and Adoration Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON
