Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Author: Robert Robinson; Martin Madan Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,211 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.

The earth with its store Of wonders untold, Almighty, Thy power Hath founded of old; Established it fast by A changeless decree, And round it hath cast, like A mantle, the sea. 4. Thy bountiful care, What tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, It shines in the light: It streams from the hills, it Descends to the plain, And sweetly distills in The dew and the rain. 5. Frail children of dust, And feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, Nor find Thee to fail: Thy mercies how tender, How firm to the end! Our maker, defender, Redeemer, and friend! 6. O measureless might! Ineffable love! While angels delight To hymn Thee above, The humbler creation, Though feeble their lays, With true adoration Shall all sing Thy praise!
