Come, Thou Fount of every blessing

Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 2,311 hymnals 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. 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. 3 Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious Blood. 4 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. 5 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. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Used With Tune: STUTTGART
