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 Im fixed upon it,
mount of Gods unchanging love
Here I raise my Ebenezer
hither by thy help Im come
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandr'ing from the fold of God
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor
daily Im constrained to be
Let that grace now, like a fetter,
bind my wandr'ing heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love
heres my heart O take and seal it
seal it for thy courts above.
