Teach me ever to adore Thee, May I still Thy goodness prove. While the hope of endless glory Fills my heart with joy and 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 Oh, 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 from Thy courts above. Used With Tune: [Come, Thou fount of ev'ry blessings]
