Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

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.
