"Eben-ezer"

Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 2,234 hymnals Topics: Church Ordinances of First Line: Come, thou Fount of every blessing 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 sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above; Praise the mount--I'm fixed upon it!-- Mount of thy redeeming love. 2 Here I'll raise mine Eben-ezer; 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, Wandering 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 thy goodness, 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; oh, take and seal it; Seal it for thy courts above.

A Christian Child

How sweet the breath beneath the hill Of Sharon's dewy rose! 2 Lo! such the child whose early feet The paths of peace have trod; Whose secret heart, with influence sweet, Is upward drawn to God. 3 By cool Siloam's shady rill The lily must decay; The rose that blooms beneath the hill Must shortly fade away. 4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour Of man's maturer age May shake the soul with sorrow's power And stormy passion's rage. 5 O thou, whose infant feet were found Within thy Father's shrine, Whose years, with changeless virtue crowned, Were all alike divine! 6 Dependent on thy bounteous breath, We seek thy grace alone In childhood, manhood, age and death, To keep us still thine own. Scripture: Proverbs 8:17 Used With Tune: SILOAM
