To see at last, by grace restored from sin and all its stains, the holy mountain of the Lord where God in glory reigns. Scripture: Psalm 99 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

Author: Robert Robinson; Martin Madan Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,205 hymnals Topics: Worship; liturgical Opening Hymns 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 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, wandering 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 wandering 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. Glory to God: the Presbyterian Hymnal (2003) Used With Tune: [Come, Thou fount of every blessing] (55776)
