Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,205 hymnals Topics: Love for God 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 God's redeeming love. 2 Here I find my greatest treasure; hither by thy help I've 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, bought me with his precious blood. 3 O, to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let that 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, O take and seal it; seal it for thy courts above. Scripture: Psalm 36:5-10 Used With Tune: NETTLETON
