come thou fount

Come Thou Fount

Come Thou Fount1. Come Thou fount of every blessing

Tune my heart to sing Thy graceStreams of mercy, never ceasingCall for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnetSung by flaming tongues above

Praise the mount I'm fixed upon itMount of Thy redeeming love

Come Thou Font2. Here I raise mine Ebenezer

Hither by Thy help I comeAnd I hope by Thy good pleasure

Safely to arrive at homeJesus sought me when a strangerWondering from the fold of GodHe, to rescue me from dangerInterposed His precious blood

Come Thou Fount3. How His kindness yet pursues me

Mortal tongue can never tell,Clothed in flesh, till death shall loose

meI cannot proclaim it well

Sorrow taunts my weary spirit,Till released from flesh and sin,

Yet from what I do inherit,Here Thy praises I will sing;

Come Thou Fount4. O to grace how great a debtor

daily I'm constrained to be!Let Thy goodness like a fetter,

bind my wandering heart to TheeProne to wander Lord I feel it,prone to leave the God I love

Here's my heart Lord, take and seal it,seal it for Thy courts above
